Man. I heard it was weird, but I still was not expecting those horse people.
This sagged a bit in the middle, but was otherwise a great, weird time. The cast is fantastic, & the music is a real highlight throughout.
The comparisons to Charlie Kaufmann are very apt, especially the morally ambiguous protagonist & his struggles to give meaning to his life. Plus all the surreal stuff, of course. I eat all this stuff up, personally, but I get why people might not enjoy it. I suppose it could take you out of the movie if there are lots of tricks that keep reminding you you’re watching a movie. But really, why not play with the medium more? Might as well take advantage of the freedom movies allow.
