9/10
It's brutal, meandering and volatile as its own asylum
13 May 2016
Many movies follow a formula, but this one, set in the looney bin, throws out the rule book and goes to the beat of its own drum. The cast is strong all around and when they're all together on set, they create a totally singular display of chaos and anarchy that's both humorous and disturbing. It's full of laugh out loud funny moments and bone chilling moments too. I'm left to revel in their antics and empathize with their situation.

It's a battle between a patient who wants to create anarchy to inspire pursuit of passion and an authoritarian staff who must enforce rules to keep society stable. It's a totally random and unfocused movie that meanders from one thread to the next. This is a weakness at times, but a strength overall.
