Audience Member Take your time to get into it, and then: Finally again a movie with real humans for real humans, no heroes or sh... Thanks, very good to see Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is PHENOMENAL!!! At first it seemed like it could be a nice dramedy like Garden State but it is WaAAy deeper that that! It is multi-layered and very cleverly written... it talks about responsibility of our generations and the fact that the highest % of single mothers in US are black, furthermore, through its female lead, a German tourist, it suggests that Western European women are least likely to be mothers (CIA facts) in modern day... more, it cleverly interpolates Latino population's strong family values as well as the omnipresence of Asians who are quietly multiplying. This movie boldly lets its protagonist be on the escape from life, or as Jean Paul Sartre (quoted in the movie) once noted "the hero of our time is the man on the run", making his Dream almost seem like an antagonist. It beautifully penetrates in the psychology of one's conflict with "letting the change happen" and questioning one's one roots of ambition and outlook on life. The Music (phantom band "Blonde Priest" which nobody's heard of) really provides a unique narration to the story as well as characters inner monologues. I cant wait to see it again and examine it more closely. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
