See more 06/26/2015 I had read an interesting interview with cinematographer, Tom Garner, that sparked my interest in the film. THE STRONGEST MAN is generating dismissive reviews from the critics, but I enjoyed the movie. This is a surreal character study of two marginalized men who have allowed their respective "hopes and dreams" to be so lowered so far they've begun to sleepwalk through their lives. This is not another lame comedy about men who refuse to grow up. This is a movie about two fully grown men who have opted to pull away from a culture that doesn't seem to care. Director/Writer, Kenny Riches utilizes surrealism to enter their psyches. Beef and Conan expect little in life. Dreams and hopes have been illogically reasoned in ways that make them unattainable. In Riches' surrealist take, their fears and paranoias have taken a seemingly mutually shared vision of demons hiding in the dark corners of their homes and city streets. Beef and Conan have developed skewed logic to avoid facing any further disappointments. When "Beef's" bike is stolen and "Conan" loses his dog it sets them on an off-beat path toward something that may offer more potential. The entire film's tone and deadpan absurdist humor have been carefully crafted. The cinematography is particularly effective. The only major flaw I found here is that the movie runs about 15 minutes too long. But it is important to note that I enjoyed the entirety of movie. This is a creative and entertaining directorial debut which offers more than cheap laughs. It should not be dismissed. See more Read all reviews
