Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A little unconventional, and the start may feel a little weird, but as the movie progresses, you get a better gist of what is happening and the crazy ride that the central character goes through. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Time to get weird. Meet Barry (Gary Green). He doesn't have a lot going for him, so he regularly drinks and does various drugs. He's not exactly somebody you would label a keeper. One day he gets abducted by aliens and will no longer be in control of his actions. Now I knew next to nothing about this. I saw a tweet recommendation, read the plot synopsis, and added it to my watchlist. It sounded like a wild ride, and those are the movies that I typically seek out when I can. Fried Barry is just that: a crazy story that doesn't have to adhere to any rulebook. I don't even know if I would fully classify this as a movie. It's not something you watch; you experience it because it is that much of a trip. It has a lot of similarities to the NC-17 music video from The Prodigy in the 90s, "Smack My Bitch Up," in the way that it gets experimental. There's not even all that much story here. Once Barry's brain gets hijacked, it's basically just him wondering from encounter to encounter in Cape Town, but it just keeps it moving so quickly that you can't help but go along with it. I don't think I can speak all that much to Gary Green's acting abilities. He doesn't have too much dialogue in this to be able to tell, but boy, does he have the face that this story needs. The way he can distort and change his expressions makes you believe that he got possessed by something unworldly. I also was a big fan of this soundtrack and the sound mixing. They are always doing something disorienting with the music, and it is hugely impactful to your viewing. The dialect can be a bit tricky at times. This takes place in Cape Town, and I can't say that I have an ear for the accent, but if you give any character more than one line, then your ear should be able to adjust. Fried Barry is not the movie to recommend to everybody. No sir. There is an excess amount of sex, drugs, and violence that a large portion of people won't be able to get behind. However, if you love a movie that gets outhouse rat bonkers, then I give this a big recommendation, as this is about as inspired as this type of movie ever gets. I could never nail down where it was headed, I just buckled my seatbelt and enjoyed the rollercoaster ride. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
