Yes I'm riffing off Natural Born Killers and you may disagree - I fully accept that. I would beg to differ of course. Because while yes this is not a copy or rather the Oliver Stone movie is not a carbon copy of this, there are at least in my mind a lot of similarities. One of the major things is the "odd" couple pairing. Though they are different in other areas than Stones pairing was.
You have a mental capability of those too that is similar though. And they are quite crazy - not just for each other. You may feel that in some instances they go too far ... but that is what mad love probably means (I couldn't say from first hand experience, since I never had any). There are other themes discussed or at least hinted at - like obesity or rather as a result "fat shaming"! Which is not helping a troubled mind finding any peace - not to mention those who get in contact with them.
Add to all that a very well made film. Yes there were restrictions - not the black and white the movie is shot in, but restrictions from censors when it comes to nudity and violence. Still what is suggested (sometimes in shadows or off camera, but in one wild moment even can be seen) is quite harrowing ... and bewildering. Technically this is very good if you care about that and the acting is top notch. Not always easy to watch, but that is what makes this so good
