This movie will make you feel weird. The setting is highly unusual and plot unexpected. You'll feel confused, even perplexed by the whole situation.
However, that is exactly the point - this movie perfectly portrays what anxiety and depression feel like. Confusion, the need to be alone and the feeling of powerlessness are all typical for sufferers and are key elements of this wonderfully weird movie.
I definitely recommend this movie for a nice, slow-paced and thought provoking afternoon.

Spud
(2010)
Disappointed

Warning: Spoilers
SPOILERS
The crazy eight is a bully group at the beginning of the movie. They picked on Gecko and later Spud. Gecko even calls the school hell. When Spud visits Gecko in hospital Gecko tells him that he shouldn't listen to Rambo and try to impress him.
After awhile we see Spud preparing for the Oliver Twist. I was actually proud of him when he put on the wig because that was the sign that he doesn't care what the crazy eight thinks. (they were picking on him that he looks like a sheep with the wig). When he is invited to come out on the stage he TAKES OFF HIS WIG!
For all three movies I have been hoping that he will confront the crazy eight. I couldn't enjoy their adventures having on my mind what they had done to Gecko.
