I've Got Issues

This is definitely a film that's likely to be divisive, but I love it. Steve Collins has crafted something quite special here. The film taps into all those small moments in daily life where I'll want to just sigh and stare at the sky and ask, "Why?" Rather than dwelling in that despair though, Collins pushes every moment so far into absurdism that I found myself cackling through most of it. It's so easy to take life seriously at every minor inconvenience and this film captures the balance of the cosmic joke. As thin as the characters may seem at first glance and as dry as this film is (we're talking desert-level dry here), I found myself identifying and empathizing with many of them. There's so much heart here and there is so much happening under the surface of the absurdity. While the vignettes get pretty bizarre, they're all grounded in real-life experiences and moments. Collins adjusts the dial deftly and knows just when to turn it up to 11, which is often. This film tackles themes of identity, love, technology, the media, existentialism, and everything in between. If you're a fan of filmmakers like Todd Solondz, Jocelyn DeBoer & Dawn Luebbe, Terry Zwigoff, Miranda July, or Quentin Dupieux, give this film a look. It's brilliant.

But I don't understand. I have to write this bit here because otherwise it complains the review is too short to post.

Because this film and the story behind it are nothing more than garbage. done and doner cheesy af nk and next

This film has little if any plot other than to show a bunch of people caught in the mundane ritual of asking why? There is seemingly no character development. Everyone in this film portrays a loser in life, each one with their own question of "what do I do next?" The sewer alien adds zero value to the already painfully slow series of stories. I could not finish the movie even with any hope that it might get better. You know how sometimes we watch movies with that hope? Not gonna happen here. I guess the actors were brilliant because the point of the movie was to show boring people doing sad,stupid or boring things that we sort of all do. If I could give this film a negative rating I would.

My life is happy even it's hard half of the time, but I would still think ok until I watch this movie. This movie want to make me kill myself when watching..... so negative and not cheer me up.

I saw the first 15 minutes and I couldn't catch the plot yet.It was so complicated and I tried to understand but I couldn't.Instead I fell asleep.I don't recommend to you guys, it's waste of time.

Maybe I missed the point. The movie is essentially a series of vignettes, each one with their own title card, with recurring characters. I think the movie was attempting to explore the meaning, or meaningless, of life on earth as a human being. But the series of short clips failed miserably if that was the goal. From keys locked in a car, to malfunctioning soda machines, to holistic healing, to a guy getting a job as a KKK intern in charge of recycling (which sounds funny but it wasn't)... none of it made any sense and wasn't the least bit funny which would have at least given it some redeeming quality. There are a lot of people who give a movie a "1", this movie actually deserves it. How this movie is currently holding a "7.2" rating is beyond me.
