Review of Entertainment (2015) by Scraper — 29 Dec 2016

Aggressively joyless. I should've known when I saw Tim Heidecker's name buried as the third writing credit that the experience would take an act of will to make it through. For two hours, Neil Hamburger juxtaposes his utter loathsomeness against the real world; a world comprised of quiet hotel rooms, quiet audiences, and slovenly, average people.

The accompany of a wide angle lens and occasional cinematographic spreads does nothing but maybe punctuate the main characters willful resistance to raise his own heart rate or coax a different result from a seemingly unforgiving environment.

At best, you could sympathize with him. At worst, it felt like hate mail to the world.
