This film was really weird but kinda in a good way.  There was lots I liked about it, the cinematography and editing, some of the transitions were very cool, I love iris transitions they were very different and don’t always work but in this they did. Lakeith Stanfield was very good, probably the best performance I’ve seen from him.  Got a bit bored of this and didn’t finish it for a day and ended up breaking my 1 film a day streak at 19 days. Starting again now from February the 1st.  It’s good though, very quirky and fun style of filmmaking that I enjoyed.  Not sure how I felt about the ending. The credits scene made it a lot better I think. Was a weird cliffhanger but also quite cool.  David Cross as the white voice really made the film for me. The lip synching was awful but I really love that guy and recognised his voice instantly. 7.5/10
