Review: ‘Bellflower’ A Burnt-Out, Bloody, Brave Debut > The Playlist

Fresh from a warm reception at Sundance, Evan Glodell’s “Bellflower” arrives as a turbo charged indictment of male adolescent fantasy and a biting critique of misplaced machismo. A burnt-out, bloody, brave debut, “Bellflower” rides out the fallout from a relationship to a stomach-churning conclusion…or does it?
I really want to see this. Starts on Friday at the Nuart.

Saw this today. Not fantasy, not horror...just a painful mumblecore flick about repulsive people who have no shortage of funds despite not having anything resembling a job. And, note to the writer/director/lead...vague was it real/wasn't it real dream sequences are not a substitute for good storytelling. Some solid ideas couched in a 'just out of film school' arthouse movie. The incredible finale' that I was promised was a masturbatory mess that made absolutely no sense and resolved nothing. As a matter of fact the film just dissolved into a random image rotation that completely made the first 2/3rds of the movie irrelevant. Adgy will love this movie because it has LGK music selections like Lykki Li.

It just seems important that we get the important stuff right first.

HA!!!!! Right for who?!

(Sorry JD, gotta be consistent with the disdain).

I only just started listening to Lykke Li and I don't much care for her. So there. :P

I guess I'll wait and see if I can get a screener of it. I don't want to drive all the way to the Nuart if it's gonna suck.
