Review of In a World...

In a World... (2013)
7/10
Works, but only by dint of writing/acting/directing moxie
19 April 2014
Really dug the writing, acting, directing, editing. Has a simple, operatic story "arc", but I couldn't detect any kind of grand mythos. In the end, I said, "That's OK."

The character work is wonderful and endearing. All hands pitched in to make this a sort of frenetic shadow puppet play of minor heavies and heroes/heroines that you can watch while eating your noodles.

Stunner anti-feminist fillip at the end; kind of shocking! Speaking of which, Geena needs to spend a little more time at the gym. Mmmmraow!

If you warmly enjoy brightly colored theatrical objects, I sincerely recommend this flick; you will be appeased!
