A strange film I either didn't get, or there was nothing to get
The opening scene in 'We're All Going to the World's Fair' was very strange. I thought to myself, that's fine if that's how you want to set the stage for your film. Then the next scene was equally strange, and then the next as well - and I realised I was just in for a strange film overall. I didn't love this one.
There was a point where I thought the film was setting itself up to be an abstract version of 'Paranormal Activity'. I would've been okay with that. That wasn't the path it was ultimately choosing to go down however. The problem was I don't know what the path it was going down was. I simply didn't understand the film on the first watch. Or maybe I'm overthinking it and it's just as simple as it seems. If so, why was it worthy of making a film about?
The film isn't long at least. It would be hard to argue it outstays its welcome. It didn't work for me though and will be gone from my memory by this time tomorrow. 5/10.
