First and foremost, acting is good and directing is excellent. So it has a solid foundation. The story is an anthology that loosely threads together tales of suffering manifesting within different environments. I'm still unsure if I enjoyed it. Perhaps some films are not meant to be merely enjoyed but to arouse contemplation. Either way, I'm interested to see what Chino Moya makes in the future, provided there is one.
No, no, i'm not asking for the "writer/director" of this...thing...to be forgiven, no. What i want to say is that this is yet another pathetic excuse of meaningless self-indulgence under the excuse of "postmodernism". This piece of manure is so pretentious and pointless that it's hard to write anything more than this. There is absolutely no plot, and obviously the aforementioned guy thought he can fool people into believing this is art. There is no plot, only the vehement desire to spread a nihilistic view of human behavior. Probably, he's another new world order lackey, that is all. AVOID THIS IF YOU RESPECT YOURSELF.
The movie is about how dysfunctional families ruin eachother and ultimately end up ruining the entire society by proxy.
Visually this movie is aesthetically interesting
the storyline is ultimately a satire on how society really is at times
a mosaic of various different occurences in different lives that ultimately is self destructive in whole
it shows how a persons life can be destroyed from having people in families that ultimately dont really care for eachother
this movie can be heart breakingly tragic to those that actually lived similar occurences in their personal lives and might rub the wrong way psychologically
in my experience most families have good bonds and support eachother in real life
so the ultimate premise of this story is that families ruin everything and from thenforth ruins an entire society because these families are what constructs as little pieces of a company, a neighborhood and ultimately an entire city. What i took from my viewing and perhaps someone else viewing this film might be different.
Thought provoking and visually striking
but overall a grim look at humanity as an inevitable downward spiral
would be 10/10 except it kind of leaves you with a disgusting after taste that somehow makes you resent humanity for its inherent flaws.

Good looking, in a gloomy sort of way, short stories cleverly and randomly connected to each other. It's very well directed and acted without any real focal point other than the future looks mighty grim. It's a somewhat hypnotic film that offers many impressive visuals, but they are nearly all dark, violent, depressing or evil. I can't say I "enjoyed" it, but it is an interesting, cheerless, and somewhat miserable journey.
A series of vignettes, connected in weird and unsuspected ways, painting the picture of a dystopia that reminds us of daily life more often than is comfortable. Powerful imagery and intriguing stories, though it perhaps lacks purpose and direction at times. Worth watching if you enjoy movies like About Endlessness but prefer a bit more grit.
