Night Is Short, Walk On Girl (2017)

I spent the first 30 minutes of this movie thinking that it was a lovely, well-intentioned mess. An amusement without direction or purpose.

Then it comes together! By somehow getting stranger! I loved it. What seems like a random collection of surreal interludes finds its purpose, becoming sweet and hilarious and intentionally stupid and meaningful and beautiful all at the same time.

I almost always go for subtitles but I’m glad we did the dub on this one - there are so many great visuals while dialogue just flys at you, I would have missed so much.

This movie is so much, it’s hard for me to articulate how I feel about it. But I definitely feel about it.
