Pretty Trippy

I watched an interview with Viggo and Mr Henriksen few weeks back talking about the making of the Film and what inspired him to write the Story. Now that I have watched the Movie twice, I get it. The reality of Dementia and Old Age is tough to swallow but the Film sets the Tone from the First scene. All the Flashbacks to the Past and still shots of Art and Beautiful scenery make it a kinda trippy ride. Since the story was loosely based on his own Family and personal experiences growing up Viggo was all in and it shows in his directing and acting in the Movie. The clash of characters and Nice Soundtrack make for a Fun watch. Sailors Language thru out. Lance Henriksen is the Man !

It's a train wreck - and you can't look away

This film which should (I hate that word) be smooth and quiet, is exhausting. It's a train wreck with bodies being tossed aside one and two at a time by a vile old man who was even worse young one - and you cannot stop watching. Until he isn't. Or is he? If anyone has had a destructive personality (or two) in their life knows how true to life this film is. And how exhausting these people are. You want to love them, but ... While this film is difficult to watch, it is well worth it. Think what the actors had to go through to make this for us.
