Fell straight in love with this Ukrainian/American roadmovie. Masterly combines dark comedy and historical accuracy. I'm not the greatest Elijah Wood fan, but this persona and the hole production is written on his face. Local Eugene Hutz, is nevertheless the discovery of this film. Even leading up to a little indie carrier for this actor. Gonna buzz in my head for a long time. Just remember that your life is illuminated in the light of the past.

"Insurance is for suckers son." - Chicks can't roll doobies and vampires explode in a bloody rain. This comical goofball tries to combine all grindhouse horror architypes, executed by a lot of talent. This rollercoaster ride could be much more refined, but it's honest fun. At least it tries to bring something different to the table, by putting known characters in an "out of place" perspective. Easy watch, put the popcorn on!

Even if a lot of scenes where superficially striking to the eye. Adil El Arbi's political and ideological exploitations in Belgian mass media should be questioned...

Will she be able to turn back her decisions? - An interesting ride it was. I thought that Paz de la Huerta's career was going to end where it really took off, at Choke (2008) and Noë's Enter The Void (2009). The recent Nurse (2013), was pretty much garbage. Here she is casted in a role once again that's written on her body. The performance by Dianna Agron is at least a pleasant surprise. An easy, well paced story. Hated…
