I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
