nathan d I'd give this one an astounding 5 bags of popcorn and maybe a vhs copy labeled by the VFA as a tip of the hat to fellow greggheads it's an absolute must see and definitely worthy of an Oscar. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/24 Full Review Dave S Watching Entertainment is as uncomfortable as watching porn with your grandmother. That's pretty uncomfortable. Gregg Turkington (a.k.a. Neil Hamburger) is a down and out comedian travelling through the California desert, performing his lewd stand-up routine in any dive bar that will book him. Indie director Rick Alverson (who also produced, wrote and edited the movie) clearly has an eye for visuals as he effectively captures the vast expanses of nothingness, a landscape that seems to mirror his protagonist's personality and talent. As far as the content is concerned, there really isn't any scene that fails to make the viewer uncomfortable and, if that was the intent, the movie is wildly successful. Entertainment is a hard film to assign a rating to – most will hate it, some will love it, and both will have valid arguments to support their opinions. Watch for yourself…and good luck. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Frank P I cd either give it 5 stars or no stars, so as we approach zero, I'll hedge my bets. A cross between "Waiting For Godot" and "The Aristocrats." Do not watch if you have just been told that you have 6 weeks to live. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/24/22 Full Review bryan b I may be missing something here but watching a crappy comedian play at crappy venues and go on crappy tours in between does not a good movie make. Was that the point? The audience feels good that they are not this guy? Hard pass. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Just confusing bad comedy leaving multiple questions Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It has a few elements I really liked, but which were ultimately indulgent distractions. The cinematography was interesting. I liked the use of colors and lighting. Neil Hamburger is obviously a big pull. I found it navel gazey and over-labored. I like films that can meander but this time it didn't work for me. The person I watched it with liked it. It's an acquired taste for sure, but I think the filmmakers were trying too hard.
