    I liked the story and the characters were fun and interesting. Tilda Swinton totally chews the scenery here. The problem I had was the overuse of surrealist imagery throughout the film became very distracting. It's still a sweet enough quirky film though.

    I wonder what the film makers were smoking when they made this terrible excuse of a spoof.

    ★½

    This should have been a 90 minute documentary film about the tragic death of Elisa Lam and how her mental health was a contributing factor. Instead we get a 4 part documentary series and is more interested in the bullshit conspiracy theories by the online sleuths and the backstory of the Cecil Hotel. This documentary series felt very crass and should little respect to Elisa's family.

    ★★

    This is a film that deals with gang rape, school shootings and wealth disparity. The film tries to juggle all these themes and it struggles to do so. Mila Kunis is good here. Unfortunately the other acting performances feel like they belong in a Hallmark film. The film does have some brutal scenes that makes you think, but they feel disconnected to the rest of the film. The problem here is the story feels scattered and some parts don't make any sense. The tone is all over the place. The film makers' hearts are clearly in the right place. Unfortunately they made a messy film.
