Review of Palindromes (2005) by Asa B — 15 Jan 2013

The only bullshit you'll find in a Todd Solondz movie, is the bullshit you brought into it.

And that's just fine.

He'll take the bow off your lovely box of bullshit and dig down right to the bottom.

If there was a bottom.

There isn't a bottom. If you were looking for truth, that's it.

I've long held that most movie critics are moral grandstanders, picking and choosing, elevating and diminishing for their own curatorial interests, the bad reviews of this film supports that.

This is an honest, thoughtful, considerate and provocative piece of art that should leave you feeling wonderfully uncomfortable. Yes, you heard me, discomfort can be wonderful.

Life is uncomfortable. Get comfortable with it.

Shit's complicated.
