Viewing Notes

FF2017 Day 6/Midnighter - from the director of The Man in the Orange Jacket. Compelling film with many ingredients that don’t really come together for a satisfying stew. Elements are introduced but you’re never fully certain if they are real or the imagination of the main character. Worth seeing but not in a midnight slot. I do like this director’s visual style.
