Story
An amateur bodybuilder struggles to find human connection in this exploration of celebrity and violence. Featured in Amanda the Jedi Show: I Watched 45 Movies in 1 Week | 'Talk to Me' and the Best Sundance Movies of 2023 Explained (2023).
It was intense!
Wow, I saw this at Sundance. Honestly, I had no idea what was going on.
Jonathan Majors is brilliant, no surprise there
He is completely believable as Killian, a possibly mildly developmentally disabled amateur bodybuilder. From awkward to thrilling to weird to shocking to terrifying.
Such a wonderful performance
The cinematography was claustrophobic and off-putting, and the music was often jarring, with dramatic shifts that reflected Killian’s state of mind. I don’t want to give away any details, but this is not a movie you would take your grandmother to.
Unless that sounds like something your grandma would enjoy, in which case take her, she’ll love it!
It gave me a Nightcrawler vibe in that it kept evolving and getting crazier and more surreal, mixed with a bit of Bullhead.
