As a PC gamer, I loved this movie. I think it was highly underrated, but only people who truly have a passion for gaming and niche interests would really get this movie and fall in love with it. The character is conflicted in just the way that a gamer would be.
The movie includes several scenes where the characters seemingly "make love" to an arcade game. Many people would think this is really dumb and stupid but I truly found it to be an erotic scene. It also kind of visually depicted the sort of fanaticism and passion a gamer can have over their hobby.
Many people many not appreciate the slow, artistic scenes, strobe effects and layered images but I personally enjoy that style of movie so this fit right in for me. A cult classic for sure. It deserves better recognition, but being such a niche topic and such an abstract directing style, I know it won't get it.
But, if you like games or nerdy stuff and understand nerd culture and would like to see erotic scenes of people making love to an arcade game and appreciate artistic thrillers, check it out!
