This was a weird movie about death, garbage, and the way humans interact with both. It was at times agonizingly heartbreaking and genuinely hilarious. Had it not been for the last ten minutes which undercut the whole conceit of the film, it would have been an early contender for Best Film (not unlike Grand Budapest Hotel, a prior strange Summer film which gained a lot of critical attention). As it stands, I really liked the film, but left wishing it was ten minutes shorter.
The real take-away is that Daniel Radcliffe is the real-deal. Paul Dano has been good in a few movies, but this was the first time I was genuinely impressed by Daniel Radcliffe. He might get a few considerations for this come award season.
