Reviews
Absurdism Meets Existentialism: Loved It
I really enjoyed this movie. The style is unconventional—similar to a Wes Anderson film or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind—with a narrative that is sometimes non-linear and dream-like, blurring the boundaries between reality and imagination and occasionally leaning into absurdism. The visual effects create a surreal tone, and the intentional color palette enhances the kind of consciousness the camerawork evokes. It was a fun watch and, somehow, surprisingly impactful as an existential mouthpiece.Was this review helpful to you?
An absurd journey though past and future with three endearing silly boys
I went to see this film with no expectation whatsoever, and i ended up enjoying it very very much !The story, set on another planet, is completely absurd but that's what makes it so enticing. It's funny, moving, endearing and yet somehow there is also a sadness to it.
What happens when your 17yo soul wakes up in your 37yo body? What happens when you know who you'll become? Can you change a future that's already happened? Can you live your teenage years as freely as before?
Those are some of the questions this film asks, amongst its action-packed scenes straight out of a 90s videogame and its over-the-top characters. The journey on which the three boys/men embark is filled with laughter, nostalgia, silliness , a hint of darkness and heavy-punches !
I truly enjoyed watching it and would definitely watch it again !
