Disturbingly brilliant

A difficult movie to grade. On the one hand, it's quite disturbing, overtly confusing, and utterly pointless. On the other, it's darkly comical, occasionally brilliant, and frequently hilarious. Definitely one of a kind. Some parts of it are disgusting in their offensiveness, whilst others are incredible in their wit. Some of the comic gems are Victor's recap of his Eurotrip and the character of Dick - who has a brilliant, five minute showing, and then never shows up again. The plot winds about, making little to no sense but capturing attentions anyway. The characters are sad, pathetic, and deeply intriguing. The cinematography and editing are a bit flashy but worthy of it. The music is well-chosen but can be a bit over the top at times. All in all, a wildly original and depressingly dark film.
