Review: "This is a very brilliantly made documentary. There are more than one narratives going at once, streaming to you in a cleverly cut together fashion, which normally juxtaposes what is being said to what the opposite is.
For those who say this film is like a music video rather than a documentary, all i can say is that you don't get it. The fashion and rhythmic style of the editing is not to make it amusing but to hammer and retort on the style of consuming that exists today. That is, to repeatedly go back and back and back and back to the same product and consumer goods to feed feed feed feed our structured likes/wants/needs from advertising from a completely absorbing imperialistic consumer society.
With that said, if that made sense to you, you too would enjoy this documentary; it changed the way i looked at life to an extent. Go watch this film. now."
