One of the most creative and revolutionary movies in years. Usually I am not the biggest fan of surreal or experimental movies that completely go wild. But this one worked brilliantly. It was the mix of dark humor and the film not taking itself too seriously in some dimensions(....) but taking it seriously in the right ones. Its a fantastic screenplay and one that will be hard to beat this year for sure. Seriously I dont know on what substances the writers were but it was the right mixture.
The acting was outstanding as well. Michelle Yeoh has never been better and for a veteran actress like her that says a lot. I really hope she gets her dues this year. A great discovery was Stephanie Hse, who surely will go her way after this film. A great supporting performance that is memorable on many different levels. It was great to see Ke Huy Quan return with to the movie world with a bang like this. Many remember him as Short Round or Data in some very famous 80s classics. He turns into a very versetaile and demanding performance as well and manages those challenges fantastically. Last but not least there is Jamie Lee Curtis who obvioulsy had a lot of fun playing her role and puts a lot of energy into it. She was great, as she played against character. Sometimes a bit too cartoonish, but then again... thats the character.
The cinematography, the score and especially the editing were top notch and make this a visual masterpiece. It works on so many layers and the re-watch factor is very high as well. I did not expect that I will love this movie is much as I did. Glad there is still braverty in the movie work to produce a wild ride of creativity like this.
