pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

barbagvido Buster's Mal Heart is a movie about a man who has a job and a family and then he meets this other guy who seeds paranoia into his mind and "wakes him up". So it becomes a story about a man who lost his mind. It starts Rami Malek, known of Mr. Robot, in a very similar role to that one. Actually, the whole movie kinda feels like a dull, season filler episode of Mr. Robot.I went into it expecting a total puzzle full of twists and mind-bending moments, but the movie is actually pretty dull. Malek is fantastic and there is some nice symbolism at times, but it's all overshadowed by the boredom of this movie. I didn't hate it, I just didn't find it engaging. It does have a few nice moments, but it's not enough to make the movie stick out. It just feels overlong and pretentious with quite a few unnecessary moments. Just to make this clear, I love the puzzling art-house flicks, but this felt more like something that wanted to be one of those instead of actually being one. And I didn't find myself thinking much about it after I finished it. Only a little about the ending, but that quickly faded away too. Also, one of the reasons is because it felt like too many things we've already seen before (Mr. Robot and Fight Club in particular) and to me at least, it never felt really as fresh as unique. I suggest you rather watch (or re-watch) Mr. Robot.

Adler-99 I think if you look at the film as being similar to a long, deep episode of The Twilight Zone, you'll get it.Jonah is a graveyard (sad pun) shift concierge in a crappy, dead-end hotel in a crappy, dead-end town. He and his wife Marty and toddler daughter Roxy (adorable Sukha Belle Potter) live with Marty's parents in order to save money for a better life. Marty's mother is a shrill harpy and her father is silent. There is a subtle hint at one point that perhaps Roxy is not Jonah's biological daughter, which armchair geneticists will notice right away when they see her chocolate brown eyes yet her parents both have blue.Jonah tries to stay awake while working his night shifts and watching his daughter during the day, and it's never clear when he sleeps. How much of what happens to him is real, and how much is a sleep deprivation-fueled hallucination? There are more easy-to-miss hints in the soundtrack of the movie; listen for static noises that indicate something's not quite right in Jonah's world.Religious allusions are rampant. Obvious are the name Jonah and being "in the belly of the whale," and also the frogs that appear to rain from the sky. Look, too, for a shot where a heavily bearded Buster lies in a bathtub, arms spread wide, looking for all the world like a picture of The Crucifixion. Finally, at the end there is a cave scene that recalls the tomb of Jesus on Easter morning -- is he there or is he not? What can we believe?

westsideschl Odds are that the majority of the five star reviewers didn't understand the movie, and the one star admitted to not getting it. No he didn't kill his wife and child. Did he even have a wife and child? No he was not stranded in a rowboat in the middle of the ocean - symbolic for? So open-ended, you choose. Did he meet a strange independent free-psychotic person - maybe, maybe not. Most likely not. Did he leave his job to spend his life ransacking cabins in the wilds - possibly, but possibly not. The chase encounter seemed too dreamy to be real and then his disappearance at the the end probably means he didn't exist. So, conclusion choose whatever you want - it's your story to make up.

jon-14564 Seems like the actors sign on to movies like this to cash in on the fad of independent films. The director/writer has a thought that does not come across well. Interesting concept, but tries too hard to make this into something. The acting is dry and slow - but I think the script and director's "vision" is to blame. They seem to be without passion and the movie drags because of it. I don't get the independent films that seem to think boring people to death are how to gain fans. This film was like eating kale, people pretend to like it to seem cool, but in reality, it's horrible. And when you're newer to the director business with a couple of no-name, low budget films, promoting yourself as a visionary is inappropriate. Sarah Adina Smith will not go down in history as a director to waste your time or money on...
