Swiss Army Man (2016)

This is that movie where a haggard Paul Dano rides the farting corpse of Daniel Radcliffe across the ocean from the island on which they were marooned. Well its more complicated then that, but its still as weird as you'd expect, if not weirder. The movie did not take the cop out ending I was expecting it to, though its certainly not a straight forward resolution. This films odd humor mixes well with some poignancy for what at heart is a meditation on loneliness. Kind of a brave performance by Dano, and a very still performance by Radcliff. Film felt like a cross between the works of Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry. ***
