Like Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Charles Laughton’s The Night Of The Hunter, this disturbing, baffling and strangely funny sci-fi thriller has divided the critics.
Some reviewers who saw it at the Venice and London Film Festivals have loudly bemoaned its fuzzy plot, lack of identifiable characters and refusal to deliver a coherent message.
But Sexy Beast and Birth director Jonathan Glazer probably wouldn’t have had it any other way. Like Kubrick and Laughton before him, the Brit knows it’s the unexplained, not the over-explained, that tingles the spine.
This, his third film and his first in a decade, has all the ingredients to become the cult hit of 2014 and a future classic. 5/5
I think he was implying that, like Tropico, G.U.Y won't receive many views, and I was implying that it wouldn't be difficult for GUY to surpass Tropico, because of the latter's minimal views.
