Andy Klein FilmWeek (LAist) Weird and wacky things happen that are unfortunately generally not funny weird and wacky things. Nov 29, 2023 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This amiable mishmash ultimately doesn't add up to much, despite its many moving parts. Rated: 2/5 Nov 12, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Jarosław L Underappreciated movie which is set to become cult classic. Execution of the story is perfect: it begins as psychodelic trip with surrealist story line, but ends as a powerful drama open for interpretation. At first I watched half engaged, but at some point I become captivated and couldn't move eyes from the screen. I certainly appreciate how you can read the story. On literal level its just a crime story told by unreliable narrator. On another level main character may be a metaphor for any of us, lost in a half-mad society in which most people are on drugs, legally or not. The house on fire can easily be allegory for climate catastrophe unfolding right now, before our blind eyes, and then the movie becomes a moralitet asking the question of responsibility. Gerald Brunskill may be obscure director with little experience, but he showed his talent and I will be watching closely his further career. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Les N Yeah...what did I just watch??? Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/10/24 Full Review Isabel D The ending was a complete surprise! I really enjoyed the film and was so captivated by the storyline, I definitely recommend it and will watch it again Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review jon g I cannot explain why I was mesmerized by this film, although I do not really understand it, or know what it was about. Most of the actors were amazing, but none were bad. While it seems like a 'weird for weirds' sake' film, there was a quality to it that kept me watching. I think this is one to just let it wash over you, enjoy the experience, and not think too much about it. I cannot explain why something in it touched me, but if you like obscure, strange, inexplicable films, give it a try. It is worthy of note that I DO NOT like most "weird films," which I find pretentious and boring. This one just stood out to me. The behind the scenes work was also very well done, so congrats to the director, cameraman, editor etc. Big hats off to Jeremy Davies for his performance though. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Megan B I highly recommend the movie "Adventures of Naked Umbrella" It is a twisted love story that combines elements of romance, comedy, and sci-fi. The film is filled with unexpected twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. It challenges the senses and offers a unique and thought-provoking experience. Overall, it is a must-watch for those looking for a movie that is both entertaining and stimulating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/23 Full Review Shannon N Behind the hilarious antics, its a story of mental illness and conspiriracies that US faces and the pain of our past that makes us who we are... Jeremy Davies is mesmerizing. and Tom Arnold gives us some true Christmas Classics with " Ding Dong , Santa's Got a Package"... and some great one liners he delivers perfectly. Loved the whole crew. Great job to writer/director J Brunskill. Killed it.. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
