Strange All Over submitted by irenzero on August 13, 2008, 12:23pm To start with I am giving this a three because I don’t really know what to make of it… on the one hand, it doesn’t really make all that much sense, on the other it looks amazing, and there are lot of hints of ambition, and there are moments that work. The plot is political, and really about the fascism of fear and protection from terrorism… it also shows the lunacy of the left wing counter to the e extreme right, and just… just… well It’s strange all over.. is it good? I don’t know… is it bad… in some parts… I think over all it’s an interesting failure, a bloated one, but it’s not boring and that’s about the best thing that I can say about it…

Masterpiece submitted by jibkidder on July 29, 2022, 8:07pm This underloved masterpiece will have its day! An all time trash classic! A mess of a good time.
