Viewing Notes
Props for the concept but whoa is this something. Glad we got the director intro video for this one to lay the foundation but even then this is some crazy ass stuff. Not necessarily “crazy” in a good way but certainly fascinating. There’s really no way to describe this historical play-by-play approach set in modern time. It’s weird! So I give it props for creating a film unlike anything I’ve seen yet I can’t declare it “good” other than it was captivating to watch unfold.
Debated using the “history” tag but I truly believe this is more satirical in nature so “comedy” wins out. I wouldn’t watch this one again but I am glad to have seen it.
