Review of Swiss Army Man (2016) by The3Academysins — 01 Jul 2016

Swiss Army Man is all at once a coming of age story, a roadtrip movie, and a romance, but is more importantly a story about a man coming back from the brink of despair. The cinematography is breathtaking, and feels like one is watching a child's dream.

Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano give performances of a lifetime, and they suck you in to the tale they live through. I felt every emotion while watching this movie. I laughed, I cried, and I came out of the theatre stunned.

I remember everyone around me was afraid to move after it ended, lest we shatter the beautiful illusion we just witnessed. My one complaint about Swiss Army Man is that the prologue before the title card is incredibly hamfisted and beats you over the head, and it almost feels like a completely different movie than the rest of Swiss Army Man.

I almost walked out I hated the prologue so much, but the rest of the movie more than makes up for a fumbled introduction.
