      Hello Dankness

      Now Playing 1 hr. 10 min. Comedy Horror Music Musical List
      93% 15 Reviews Tomatometer Comprised entirely of hundreds of film samples, Hello Dankness is a political fable that bears witness to the psychotropic cultural spectacle of the period 2016 to 2021, and the mythologies and lore that took root around it. Taking form as a suburban musical, the film follows a neighborhood through these years as consensus reality disintegrates into conspiracies and other political contagions. Part political satire, zombie stoner film, and Greek tragedy, the work is also informed by the encrypted memetics of contemporary internet culture. Begun in 2019 and labored on throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, Hello Dankness is a record of the time, written from the time. Read More Read Less Now in Theaters Now Playing Buy Tickets

      Andrea Thompson Chicago Reader A truly strange odyssey through a darkly humorous American landscape. Sep 15, 2023 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg New York Times “Hello Dankness” belongs to a venerable underground-film tradition of treating refracted entertainment as a mirror for society. Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast A stinging political, social, and media critique made from digitally altered bits and pieces of entertainment favorites, at once hilarious, enraged, and as zonked out of its mind as many viewers will prefer to be while watching it. Sep 5, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills How did we get from It’s a Wonderful Life to Qanon? Hard to describe, but making an indelible impression, this ingenious construct becomes a devastating indictment of a corrupt system... Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Anthony Greene Spectrum Culture A mesmerizing curiosity that straddles the line of genius and shrug-worthy gimmickry. Sep 13, 2023 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht It's a bit scruffy — how could it not be? — but I laughed a lot. Rated: 4/5 Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
