When you keep asking yourself what and why you are watching the whole time I think it's a clear signal it either isn't for you or bad... or both.
A cookie cutter millennial story about abusive relationships with pink and purple colors (albeit muted and dark) and glittery happy-flappy modern my little pony effects and people. The plot however is longwinded and boring which, for a hyperactive generation, is kinda ironic. Nothing that happens surprises... Scenes go on and on... I'm so drained watching it I can't even find the reason to finish to write this.
NOTE: The ending also didn't make any sense..

What did I just watch?! That insane ride was something I didn't anticipate. I don't know how to explain this film. It reminds me of films like Mandy & Enter the Void. Very weird, unique, fresh, trippy, and fun sci-fi horror that tells a story about Barry, a lowlife drug addict who is abducted and then possesed by an alien. As his body is being controlled by the unknown, he roams Cape Town, observes the human life, and discovers the beauty and ugliness of it. There's not much to the story but I'm really drawn to it from start to finish. The lead is excellent! His gestures and facial expressions are spot-on. The 18 warning intro was a nice touch and I didn't expect that interlude. The sound is phenomenal. I liked everything about it.
