I know complaining about a movie being depressing often sounds like you just don't get the movie or you are more inclined towards movies with more conventional endings. But with this film it is simply depressing for the sake of being depressing. And it is depressing with this unattached quality where you don't even feel anything towards the subject matter, just "oh that's messed up and depressing". It is eyeroll inducing and feels like it is insulting your intelligence.
This is a movie that thinks it is smart but still resorts to gross out poop jokes as a means to grind in disturbing imagery.
To me this is the worst kind of indie film. It is one that thinks it is a lot smarter than it is. Or it thinks it is saying something complex when really it boils down to truths about life we are all aware of. It takes things to extremes for the sake of it without realizing why other movies push things there. It tries to be dark comedy without the intelligence, which just makes it feel cruel. If you want a smart film watch The Lobster.
