Ratings and reviews

I loved it the moment I saw the first 2 minutes of puppeteer-ing! The story is funny and has a creative addition of being very odd. But its interesting the farther you watch it.

Please Mr. Malcovich send me ALL of my Amazon boxes to me personally since I, Miss Kimberly Jo Ryan now live at Autumn Crest Apartments in Kannapolis, N.C. 28083 as of Friday, March 16, 2017 at Apt. #1213 on my doormat in the far back corner on the 1st floor of Bldg. #1200 whether or not my doormat is still there or not. By the way, ALL of my mail from my personal post office box in Mooresville, N.C. 28117 is supposed to be forwarded ever since I signed my lease legally here the same day that I moved in here after paying ALL of my security deposits for all of my own personal "yes" & "No" program rules for my apartment only which differ dramatically and completely differently from each and everyone elses' apartment rules for ALL of my security deposits for Water, Sewer, Garbage, Recycling & Electricity as well as Disability insurance, S.S.D.I. & my S.S.I. just began in July of 2017. Up until then, I, only had S.S.D.I. Thank you for such a well rounded movie!!! ♡♡♡♧♧♧☆☆☆☆☆$.00 Sincerely: Miss Kimberly Jo Ryan 1st. My Mom: MRS. Jo Ryan ~ Ransom and My father: MR. Frank Ryan, {+} my 3 brothers: MR. Shawn Ryan and family, MR. Scott Ryan and family, MR. Brendan Ryan and family. Coolest movie in the world so from me to you: "You are all 'cool beans' to me MAN!!!"

This movie captures a perverse wonder that I was accustomed to feeling more when I was a little kid, when the world seemed so big and limitless. A pure focus on motive and human depravity take center stage with the backdrop being a small portal into the twilight zone.
