Review of Adult World

Adult World (2013)
Offside
11 February 2014
A little tenuous. Revering in most segments and flat in, with a still, stiff viewer, hanging on, not initiated to explore the frame of the picture. Yes. It's Offside.

Mangling here and there, forth and backwards. Yes, awkward in it's delivery in sustenance for the viewer. Choking down burnt popcorn is a waste of money when you can watch a gripping picture that has you munching without awareness of what. You're just lost. Deep in the world presented. Here, we are not in the picture. We're outside of it.

Watching a screen of uninteresting images with characters lacking dynamic, and giving typical eye-rolling looks to each other. Yeah, you just want to jolt out of your seat and run in to watch Wolf. But there it is. There's the stinger. It's the anxiety it gives you of holding back, stiffly.

Without consent, without surrender. You stay there until the end. I don't know why. Objectively, just leave. But when your there, you sit. And look. It worked. In a good way? Hardly onside.
