Fabulous film!!!
Wonderful cinematography!
Fabulous photography that didn't feel beholden to the rules of "talking heads". At times, we had the privelege of watching characters tell a story from under a stairway, or from behind a great bulk of hair. It was great because those were fearless, honest-to-the-moment picture choices that told the story of each character in a wonderfully truthful and subtle way.
I really enjoyed the well-timed flash-forwards and flashbacks. They served as a great device for keeping the audience from getting bogged down with the heavy subject matter and gave us time to fall in love with these mad characters. It's almost as if the disjointed storytelling kept us from being too "aware" and from categorizing the story into some well-known template... which left us open and available to receive. In essence, we didn't know what direction the story was going in, so we were forced to just ride with our storytellers.
I loved it!
