Diana S A strange and enthralling story about the experience of catastrophe and how we wrestle with it in the aftermath. I felt like there were a lot of references to Alice in Wonderland, and the imagery was inventive and evocative. I totally loved it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Melissa L It's a pretty weird movie, but the ending kind of explained it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/24 Full Review tom k I really wanted to like this, but I could not get over the lack of reasoning why the couple was in that middle of nowhere to begin with. It detracted from the rest of the story and I just could not suspend my disbelief to enjoy this one. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the weirdest movies you can ever encounter. If you look beyond the appearances this picture is able to provide you with a creepy and realistic depiction of human sadness and grief. My rating: 8/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Ultra-violent, surreal, Groundhog's Day: three words to describe Koko-di Koko-da. The film underwhelmed and became repetitive — I know, that's the point, but it didn't do it well like Groundhog's Day, Palm Springs, or Edge of Tomorrow. Mog (Peter Belli), the boater-hat-wearing, cane-wielding, ring-leader of the sadistic trio (+ 1 live dog, 1 dead dog) was the best part of the film. It touches on grief and trauma, but not in any way this reviewer is able to articulate. Midsommar and Another Round were both Scandinavian smashes and I was hoping this would be an addition to that echelon, but whatever message it was trying to make fell flat. It's nowhere near the mindless, gratuitous torture porn of Funny Games — a movie I loathe — but had it run thirty minutes longer, we might've gotten there. The shadow puppetry was cool, so if you enjoy shadow puppetry, this movie might be for you. Koko-di Koko-da wants to be edgy and smart when it's really just a time-loop horror, which might be exactly what you're looking for. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The more I think about this movie, the more I like it. The puppetry is gorgeous, and the folkloric characters that illustrate the metaphor at the end are particularly effective. The slow pace is no huge bargain, but after the fact, it left me with a strange mythical feeling. This movie is not completely satisfying, but strong in its defiance of following convention. It's original, that's for sure. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
