Reality blows. We want something more. We want a "new high" or something to chase. This movie is built around escapism. The same escapism that draws people to watching movies, draws people into making movies. That same escapism starts to flee when we are no longer "entertained." We then want something more!
This movie is built around the never ending chase for "more" in life only to make us ask if it even matters. It's fairly existential underneath it all. It begs the question of when entertainment becomes evil. When we lose site of humans and see them only as objects for our entertainment.
There is graphic content that people will cling to and badmouth the movie over but if you are someone who loves independent cinema, this has the flavor of an independent film with a massive budget. I'm grateful it got made but there is no way this will do well in the box office. It has "cult classic" written all over it years from now.
