Undergods (2020)
3/10
Looks good, but completely empty
4 March 2022
As far as I can make out, this film is somewhere between an anthology and a complete film that is very episodic, loosely kept together by some recurring characters, backdrops and themes. The film looks fantastic and the technical aspects are very good. The themes about family breakdown and and a dystopian future are potentially interesting. Unfortunately the plot is ultimately too disjointed and senseless to be enjoyable. In fact, this aspect is so bad that it totally ruins the film. It's like the creators gave up halfway through and replaced any meaning with pretentious, impenetrable nonsense.

In a way it would be interesting to watch twice because there are several plot strands and characters that you assume are going to make some kind of return and get some kind of resolution but they never do. It is only when the film ends that you think: what the hell was that about. Please don't think there's something you missed and maybe you needed more intelligence to fully appreciate it. That is not the case.
