Ambitious but muddled vanity project

Strong theater kid meets sundance vibes, this is an overly ambitious vanity project for its writer/director/composer/star. It's actually well shot and acted for this kind of low budget movie, but ultimately you have to be really insightful to make a movie about how dating in your twenties sucks interesting, but instead we get the lame conceit of the main character being put on trial (In his mind!!!) mixed with a lot of screams of anguish. The music doesn't quite pass muster, the story is thin like a lot of musicals but also kind of muddled, and there is nothing really interesting about the main character Tommy. My experience watching this movie-immediate laughing out loud at how silly this because it opens with a long coutroom sequence and the protagonist metaphorically? Killing his brother, giving it slight chance when it shifted to be about dating, and then gradually becoming more bored as it becomes a generic bad relationship drama. At times it also plays like a half baked concept album from 2008, Pitchfork would not approve.

Eerily Fantastic.

The music of this film stuck with me for days. The imagery remained surreal, calm and nostalgic.Overall, this film had a haunting charm to it. I encourage you, dear reader, to watch and enjoy. It is a crafty little, gem made with a shoe-string budget. I sincerely hope that Luke Shirock continues in his film-making career because this was such a stylistically unique delight.
