    ★★★★½

    It’s a beautiful blood-soaked epic. 

    I can’t believe this movie exists. It’s ruthless in its violence, but is overall grounded in revenge, love, and magic. There are multiple scenes I want to remember forever in their entirety.

    It commits to the idea that this is the last known documentary of a missing filmmaker and it’s edited like it.

    Incredibly stupid but rarely stupid enough to be funny. The fun comes from watching it with friends and the commentary that follows. It’s a movie that brings the audience together 

    Watched for movie night on the insistence of my roommate’s boyfriend (he doesn’t pay rent here) and for st patricks day. There are multiple lucky charms references but literally no st patty’s day jokes, the Leprechaun must want to separate itself from the catholic church.
