As much as I wanted to love the idea of this being a messy psychoanalytical mix of grotesque and comedic and like it in the same way you love some of its 70s niche, cult equivalents; I found this prosaic, self-aware, puerile, and irritating as few other movies in the last few years. The cast didn't help.
As much as you want to like this headbanger's flick, it feels poorly constructed and formulaic. Painting as the outcome of a painful, preverbal and primal form of "inspiration" is such a ridicously sedimented romantic trope that"s impossible to escape, here it is taken to absolutely ludicrous heights.
