Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness ... a comedic punk rock musical that uses a turbulent lead singer’s determination to die like her heroes as the basis to explore the creative process and the way art doesn’t have to be for everyone to be meaningful. Rated: 4/5 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Christian Craig In Review Online While its comedy might be inconsistent, The Gesuidouz hits its stride when it stops searching for the joke — but never, somehow, at the expense of its lighthearted charm. Jul 12, 2025 Full Review James Hadfield Japan Times A smug shaggy-dog story that feels like its creator is seeing how much he can get away with by pandering to undiscerning festival audiences. Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Paul Emmanuel Enicola The Asian Cut [The Gesuidouz] embraces lo-fi sensibilities, while juxtaposing the jarring editing and the eardrum-shattering music with the cinematography that captures the quotidian beauty of rural life.
