A science guy has a thing for eyes.

Has one long mellow semi-suspenseful tone, but doesn’t take full advantage of its opportunities. It grows weaker and weaker as it drones on, and barely pretends to have a reasonable resolution.

Something about a crime and lawyers and a court and stuff, but with racism.

Not my thing.

Based on A Time to Kill – (1988 book), by John Grisham

A couple play underground documentarians for a cult.

Slow and boring. I couldn’t get through it.

A documentary about Robert Crumb.

A lineage of broken genetics is passed on to children, one of whom drew odd things oddly and got famous because normies couldn’t or wouldn’t do it. He got and stayed famous because he got there first. Everyone fawns over him to be cool.

There’s a lot of anti-consumerism, anti-industry and general cultural critique. Unfortunately, the whole thing gets interesting only in the latter third, and the good cultural critique is scattered throughout that.

All things considered, this isn’t a great movie, an interesting person or an interesting topic. For people unaware of the reality, this shows the broken side of certain kinds of artist.

Not recommended.
