Interreflections (2020)

A strange, overlong mixture of overwrought set-pieces and lecture

[1/10 · 6 October 2020]

I'm really not sure what the audience for this movie is going to be. At nearly 3 hours, and with an often glacial pace, this sprawling powerpoint presentation on steroids reads half like an infomercial and half like an amateur sci-fi submission for a little-known film festival. To the creators' credit, they appear to be aware of this. At the 90% mark of the film's running time a break in the fourth wall, complete with emergence of green-screen and corpsing actors, the director can be hear saying "come on, let's finish this damn movie already".

Quite.

The Shivering Truth (2018–2020)

Wonderful and Poetic Insanity

[10/10 · 22 December 2018]

I absolutely love everything the PFFR crowd do (some of their crew even co-write South Park.) These episodes, only 11 minutes each, pack more madness and laughter in than entire seasons of other shows. Not for the faint-hearted. If you liked Wonder Showzen, Xavier Renegade Angel or similar, this is for you.

And if you can't stand the dull fare of most output and wished to just try something unhinged and completely different, give it a go.
