Review of Kaboom (2010) by Tatsuhito K — 31 Jul 2015
A weird mix of sci-fi, horror, mystery, and sex comedy. Gregg Araki's Kaboom is a hyper-stylized and visually trippy film that is unsure of what it wants to be. It's wonderful to see a movie that revolves around gay, lesbian, bisexual characters, and I liked how it portrayed them not as stereotypical caricatures, but as fleshed-out, three-dimensional people.
The first half of the film is delightfully quirky, it's full of energy and the jokes are often hilarious. But the story goes haywire in the second half and in the end, doesn't offer any solid, or comprehensible, conclusion.
This is by far the weirdest and messiest film I've seen in quite some time. Kaboom is a bizarre film.
