 Forum Posts: 82 Comments: 4 Reviews: 21 | I watched this a few times, and I found it very artsy, and dark. When I first saw it, I picked up on the Shakespearean influences very early on, and that was a cool touch. With my little knowledge of Narcolepsy, I question River's performance, as I do not recall seeing a Narcoleptic slowly fade into an episode, but rather quite suddenly drop into it. However, Phoenix was known to do tons of research for his roles, so I'm sure that's just my lack of more research on my end. I enjoy anytime Keanu goes into something more Shakespearean, and hope one day to see him play Puck in a Mid Summer's Night Dream (I can imagine right? lol). The shots were good, but sometimes I think the movie tended to lag, and (imo) the characters were lackadaisical in their personal goals at times. For this, and the sexual content, I think that this movie isn't for everyone. |
