Review of Swiss Army Man (2016) by Bri M — 02 Jul 2016

Symbolical, Astonishing and Freakishly Bizarre Genius!

First of all, this movie is NOT for the simple-minded. If you take it literally, you wont get it and you'll probably hate it. BUT, if you keep an open-mind and carry your emotions of shock, repulsion and bewilderment past the first 15 minutes, this movie will crack your head wide open and flood your brain with a tsunami of creativity and twisted fun like you've never experienced!

Get half-way through and you'll even begin to feel a strange reliability to the protagonist as he experiences the all-too-real and competing emotions of worthlessness, loneliness, utter despair, joy, love, and super-human power. Bravo to the screenwriters, director and producers for having the "cojones" to turn away from the predictable, templated approach that the rest of the film industry seems to be following. I'm imagining I have a third thumb and I am raising all three for Swiss Army Man! =).
