Being stranded on a deserted island leaves young Hank (Paul Dano) bored, lonely and without hope. As a rope hangs around his neck, Hank prepares to end it all, until he suddenly spots a man (Daniel Radcliffe) laying by the shore. Unfortunately, he is dead and quite flatulent. Using the gassy body to his advantage, Hank miraculously makes it back to the mainland. However, he now finds himself lost in the wilderness, and dragging the talking corpse named Manny along for the adventure.

Critics Consensus

Disarmingly odd and thoroughly well-acted, Swiss Army Man offers adventurous viewers an experience as rewarding as it is impossible to categorize.

The third act dissolves back into emo indulgence. But before then, you may just have found yourself briefly watching in wonderment, only disturbed by the nagging feeling that this is all very wrong.

Rated: 3/5

Independent (UK)

Two fine actors giving full-blooded performances can't prevent Swiss Army Man from seeming pretentious and self-indulgent.

A really sick premise and totally unbelievable. Should have left the script unmade on a deserted desert island.

I love a film that keeps me guessing and one that is well-crafted. This film will play with you up until the very end! Loved it

This movie is ridiculous but that is not always a bad thing.

Swiss Army Man somehow manages to combine juvenile fart jokes with lofty philosophical pretensions. Paul Dano plays Hank, a stranded, suicidal whiner who discovers hope in the form of a flatulent corpse, Manny (Daniel Radcliffe), who doubles as a makeshift jet ski. The film’s bizarre premise and execution are incredible, though not necessarily always in a good way.

I always respect when someone commits completely to an absurd idea and this is a great example of that. I'm down for whatever Daniels is cooking at this point.

No creo poder recomendar esta película, pero es entrañable y rara, pero lo mejor es la perspectiva que te dan de los seres humanos.
