I had been anxiously awaiting this movie for months as I have found that typically anything Carson Mell (writer/director/actor/musician) is involved with is right up my alley. I am delighted to see Mell beginning to release his own feature length films (highly recommend his previous film horror/comedy Another Evil) and now in Some Of Our Stallions we find Mell himself in front of the camera portraying the big hearted, yet emotionally unstable, Beautiful Bill.
After both being released from a mental care facility, Bill and his best friend Andy (played charismatic newcomer to the screen and producer Al Di) go back into the world with love on their minds as they seek to find a romantic relationship. They soon find that thier attempts to flirt and make advances on the average woman are consistently unsuccessful and decide that they need to find a woman that is "crazy" like them. Enter Olivia Taylor Dudley as their quirky love interest (with her own issues) who they encounter as they falsely pose as a transport service for newly released out patients at another facility.
This movie jumps right into action and immediately gives you a good taste of what's to come. I had a very unique experience watching it as it gracefully dances all across the emotional spectrum of the viewer on a regular basis. These characters are full of love yet can become instantly destructive. They can be a perfect example of childlike innocence one second and the next become whirlwinds of selfish chaos and unpredictable violence. It moves and breathes and keeps you unsure of what these characters are capable of (good and bad).
I loved how many moments of genuine wholesomeness were paired with high anxiety/cringe/danger situations. The humor and dialogue is very original and has a lovely personality all its own.
Great to see Tim Hiedecker and Mike Judge make appearances in this movie. Small but very effective and hilarious roles.
All in all i really thought this movie was a very fun ride and delivered a wide range of intense emotions.
Check it out!
