maybe it's clever?

2 stars

Went looking for reviews and supposedly it's fantastic and funny, hilarious even. The closest i can find to humour is ungenerous digs at various characters. There's an ugly gruesome murder. There's maybe some profundity in the end, though perhaps not particularly original. by the time I got there I was tired from the details, so many details, many disjointed. If there was symbolism connecting them it's beyond me, other than a surreal nightmare. Images of grief, yes, The zombie apocalypse as ungenerous comedy horror as a metaphor for grief? I suppose. Well, it is a different approach. That's the most generous thing I can find to say about this. Others seem to love it so maybe I'm just thick. No catharsis or sense of understanding, being understood for me in this. I'm left feeling sad, sitting with my own grief, and thick.
