I feel sorry for people who don't get this film
It deserves a much bigger rating than 5.7

Hold on there. The thing to get is how avant-garde it is. It isn't supposed to appeal to your reasonable side. It's a flight into the the unknown and the mysteries that entails. It's soo goood and funny and strange and just a delightful piece of art.
shareI would watch a little more film before throwing around words like avant-garde and art. The film was competent, well acted and even quite amusing but was by means something new.
Flights into the strange and unknown have been achieved was more masterfully in other films. There is not a single element in this entire film that hasn't been done before. If anything this film is a mosaic of various elements of American indie-comedy and exploitation film and very basic European surrealism, that suffers from over-dilution in the end.
I will say this though, Jared Hess has really cut down on his quirky for the sake of quirkiness style. Which show maturity.
That's a fine response. I think you know more about films than I do, to be for sure. While I've seen just about every film on the AFI top 100 list, it seems, you've seen a lot of European plus American films and I just can't compete with that. Thanks for the intelligent insight!
Got any other movies in mind that would blow me away with surrealism and what not?
