    Yeast Lords Vinegar Syndrome 4k deluxe when?

    By the Power Couple that brought you Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre - Gentleman Bronco tells the story of a lonely, homeschooled teen whose sci-fi novel gets stolen by a washed-up writer. But instead of playing this as a straightforward underdog story, the film opens into a surreal mix of low-budget space operas, absurd dialogue, and hilarious teen angst.

    It’s a deeply specific kind of comedy—deliberately stilted, full of strange visual gags, and…

    A pretty bleak directorial debut from Zoë Kravitz.

    While it has its moments of incredible tension with fantastic acting - the editing was the star. Some pretty complex messaging that I'm not qualified to speak on, but the ending feels pessimistic in a way that I don't super fuck with? If it had been a slow burn revenge film and went the way of, like, I Spit on Your Grave or Revenge I would've enjoyed and respected it more, but then it would be a totally different movie saying something else entirely.

    This is either for you or it's not. To me, it was deeply and profoundly personal. I can't remember the last time I cried this much during a movie. Truly haunting. Also life affirming? In a weird way.

    I fell asleep to X files for the first time in years.

    Cannot wait to rewatch.

    This happened to me at NYU. Why I don't fw rich girls anymore.

    Most of my thoughts from my initial review remain the same. A masterful piece of class commentary and body horror. I love all the weird psycho-sexual stuff. It's a unique flavor of Freudian/oedipal horror. Wonderfully demented.

    On second viewing, I acknowledge that it has some pacing problems. It could maybe benefit from cutting the the whole debate rival murder fake out, but other than that unsure of what I'd cut.
