#found 2012

Just every few months I found myself going feral over fucked up brothers who are very much incestuous to each other.

I liked this movie just fine. A boy discovers that his brother (who he adores) keeps severed heads in a bowling bag in his closet. I would say the premise overall delivers on the interesting concept it presents. 3/5.

The reason the movie - despite having an interesting main cast & doing fun stuff with the setting & the effects on a a shoe string budget -loses points from me is simple: they tried to do too much with too little with the script.

The entire plot point of Dylan focusing on black women & the racial aspect of this plot COULD have been something but it….. wasn’t.

This movie had some really interesting content in regards to nuclear families, women, sibling dynamics, & middle class religious groups. It had NOTHING to say about race. This movie was heavily crippled by the frequent unnecessary nods to a commentary that simply didn’t work within the overall narrative framework. My opinion? Only bring it up if actually seems worth mentioning within the conversation at hand & you have something to say. Cmon.

That said —- this movie was really interesting.
