1/1

Lindsey Shaw rules. Liars rule. Judd Nelson rules. Dendrie Taylor rules. 1/1 has many strengths. It's a slow burn, so hang in there during the first 30 minutes. Actually, that was my favorite part, but my wife was like "nahhhhh." But then she loved the rest. Funny enough, overall, she likes 1/1 more than me. I don't get the title. Whatever.

Constructed the way a brain might actually process conflict, trauma, and transition, this film seethes with the dark side of emotion, allowing the viewer to become embroiled in each character's turmoil. The experience is effectively uncomfortable, an ultimately triumphant effort providing insight to perspective outside of one's own while bridging that gap with the familiarity of both feeling stuck and being jarred. Family rifts, mental illness, and the search to understand and accept oneself are intertwined through visual and aural art style unique to the filmmakers, breaking new ground. It is like nothing I've ever seen, and I hope to see much more from this team.

This is a filmmaking masterpiece, shows how you dont need a big budget and a lot of actors to make a great movie. It is so well executed. I loved the usage of text in transitioning the storyline and also the close up shots, which make a great point.

Really different. i think you have to go into it with an open mind and allow it take you on a journey and if you do that you're in for a very moving and visceral experience.

The Good - the music, the excellent shots, Lindsey Shaw...and oh my yes, Judd Nelson. The best scene is the end argument with Joan/mom. It's riveting.

The Bad - mayyyybe too much editing, it's very loud

The Ugly - the fornication in the bathtub - you'll know it when you see it and you won't forget it.
