LightflowFox T @RT14631131 16h This movie asks you to listen to a bedtime story and believe it. A book accompanied the movie, and that adds an interesting depth as well. If you like Unbreakable, you also need to consider that these are people with 'super powers' which also connects to other movies he has made. I like the strange connections that these movies have to one another, and this movie in particular draws out a story that you have to watch and read a couple of times to begin to understand it all. Yes, it's pretentious. I suppose I like pretentious. I like seeing puzzles go together, it's satisfying. But most of the critics seem to be like the critic in the story, irritated that there are no original stories anymore, and unable to understand when one is original that they may not even like it because of the originality.

See more Glory K @Ms.Glory Feb 25 Y'all missed the point. This flick was DESIGNED to be a bed-time fairytale for kiddos. When you watch through that lens, it's funny and charming. When you try to ground it in any kind of reality, it's as ridiculous as Hans and Gretel happening upon a house made of candy in which a cannibalistic witch resides.

You needn’t (or you could) try to take in a deeper message; you needn’t really focus on the absurdities; you could just sit back and watch 15 or 20 absolutely different characters — every single one of them highly peculiar — come together to orchestrate a fun, engaging narrative. I think the highlight here is the sheer number of characters and how they are — every single one of them — odd! See more Read all reviews
