Review of Swiss Army Man (2016) by Anderson G — 30 Dec 2016

In an era where everything follows a cake recipe, "swiss army man" is bold, he cares little about the comfort of the viewer and I am not surprised by the news of people who left the cinema with 20 minutes of movies, an illogical story , Silly and who gives himself completely to the flirtation, but, somehow, he has a brilliant reflection on reflection, love and self-knowledge.

We have the story of Hank (Paul Dano), who is lost on an island and meets a strange being with absurd powers that help him escape and get to know each other. Paul Dano is incredible in this film, a sensational performance, and Daniel Scheinert made the best dead half I saw in the cinema, with soundtracks and good and practical photographs, nothing is left to be desired, an edition and impeccable montages, but here the strong point Is still the script, which at one point gives itself to the common and cliché, but only for a moment, then it recovers, at least and parts, the construction of our protagonist is confused, as every first act of the film.

At the end of the day we have a different movie with touches of drama, romance and comedy, with an irreverent script and great performances that completely escape from current standards.
