100 Movie Challenge (1st Apr - 30th Jun)
#6

It tried to be dark, deep, and mysterious. Some people defend this movie by saying it wasn’t supposed to make sense or that you don’t understand the plot completely. When in reality, it’s just poorly made.

This is a piece of shit. 
Seriously, don’t waste your time.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Is bottom of the barrel for Jena Malone.

Sub-Lynchian nightmare that's lifeless, dull, trite, melodramatic, plagued by cheap sound design and propped up with unconvincing, cardboard characters.

Malone twirls, gyrates and does lots of sexy lip biting over a series of dissolves in hallways lit by red bulbs; the type of set-up I remember being the epitome of indie edginess in 1994.

She also tells a story of abusing a mentally disabled 'vegetable' when she was a kid, a monologue so pointedly provocational, that you hate the screenwriter and her character as early as five minutes into the film.

Half a star for the location scouts finding the hotel where much of this takes place. The rancher decor is creepier than any of the Lost Highway-lite, body swapping, anxiety-fuelled phantasmagoria that swirls around it.

why would my dream have a rotten pea in it paige?

There's something here, I think. 

But I was too distracted by how much I dislike Jena Malone.

"Bottom of the World" is one of those trippy, mind-bending little dramas that is more concerned with being trippy and mind-bending than it is with telling a cohesive story; but, maybe, that is the point. Regardless, the story of man making a break with reality while those around him become more and more dubious is compelling; and the small-scale production provides sharp and haunting moments of desert-noir style. The piece may never come together, which, again, might be by design; but the film is, nevertheless, watchable.

This feels like a 14-year-old Donnie Darko fan was given 50k to make a movie and I know this because this is exactly what I would have made when I was 14

Well that was excruciating.

Jena Malone kinda makes me wanna throw up.

i don't know what happened but good film

If you were to have stared at the sun during the solar eclipse, I imagine your vision would end up like the color correction in this movie.

Jena Malone

What the fuck was that? Bottom of the Barrel. 

Who else doesn’t like Jena Malone?

I have no clue what even happened in this but it was definitely pretty

I get what the filmmaker was going for. It just wasn't very good or enjoyable. But I guess that you could say it was somewhat effective.

I found everything about this beautiful.

40 out of 100

Is this... is this just a really long car advert?

At first it was interesting because you are not sure what is happening but then by the second act they spilled everything out so the third act just felt like pandering until the very end because we know what the "goal" is, it would've been better if we found more and more about what is happening instead of just spilling it out

The characters are nothing special the pursuit of the main character at the start was admirable but that's about it, the cinematography was fine, the score is also fine the performances were nothing special

Bottom of narnia: 並みの

Gostei muito... Muito interessante o jogo surrealista no roteiro.

I love David Lynch type of movies 
But Bottom of The world lacks from personality and style, in the end it feels so flat and forgettable,  I would have liked see this premise in a short film 
Jena Malone is awesome tho or mayhe just everyone around her were terrible but still I love Jena Malone
