a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The first must-see film of the year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I can't believe it has only 4 stars!!! I've just watched the movie. Some people talks about over acting, I don't think so, there's a lot of girls that behave that way. About the camera, well it is supposed to be done by a completely amateur, don't you remember the time you try to film something with your first camera? (I know it wouldn't be actually his first camera, but it is for sure his first professional camera). And the plot, I think people who rated it with 1 star haven't really understood the movie. It's just as simple as a guy who decides to film his birthday and think about his life, his average living day, just that; there's no fantasy, there's no a superhero, there's no a miraculous event that changes his life completely, that's why this movie is so awesome, makes you think how people behave in front of others and how their life really is. I would totally recommend this film, if you are tired of Hollywood's unbelievable stories this is a must see.

How compelling is it to watch Keanu eat a cupcake? After a night of hard partying with her roommate Mia (Adelaide Clemens) and the driver John (Keanu Reeves), Violet (Bojana Novakovic) is sleeping it off and doing drugs. Then John steals a camcorder and record interviews of best friends and escorts Mia and Violet about their lives.Sometimes, Keanu is great. Then sometimes he's like this. He's listless, tired, and lifeless. I know it's the character but he infests the movie with his lifelessness. Director/writer Mark Mann hasn't made this compelling. The first half of the movie scraps along in a grinding waste of time other than a couple of interesting scenes. And no, Keanu eating a cupcake is not one of them. The first half should probably be chopped down to a shorter 15 minutes opening.The interview meanders. It doesn't have structure to build the tension. They're just sob stories. I like both Bojana and Michelle Williams doppelganger Adelaide. But even as it gets to an interesting place, it took so long that it has no tension. It's a movie that needs more meat on the bone.

This defined my life in so many levels, I don't live his exact life, no. But the dullness, borderline, bored, nothing there but 'Are you still talking' personality is. Creativity sucks, (like the movie)plots don't stick, I can not create anything that is or should be close to being called film worthy. This is what becomes my trash. It feels like I picked up the camera and gave a high time actor My life to film what I do. I'm not okay with it. It's mundane, it's terrible, even the character himself said: 'Maybe you should say something interesting.' It makes me angry and disgusted by this generation..whatever the hell you call it...um. Yes, it's true, yes I see what you did there. Yes, I would give it a higher rating normally for being real - as I should say great real life acting. Story sucks but what can I say, that was the meaning of the story right? To depict real life. This movie wasn't for me.

For some reason I was intrigued by this movie. I kept watching it thinking something would happen. Nothing happened. Halfway through it looked like something might happen. Nothing happened. I still kept watching it though, waiting for some grand revelation, or some insight, or some idea of what it was about, and I didn't get it. I waited for the plot to reveal itself or for there to be some sort of context to the story. There was none. There was no foreshadowing, there did not appear to be any conflict, there didn't appear to be a resolution at the end, either. This movie left me unfulfilled and confused. What is the point of this movie?? I have no idea. Does anyone know, and if so can you share with me what the point of this movie was?
