A family lives under a salt-mine from what seems to be the apocalypse. When a mysterious lady falls into their lair, her new perspective slowly changes the mood in their own lonely bunker.
The good, the story.
I love the backbone of this film. It reminds me of Blast from the Past, a somewhat similar bunker film starring Brendan Fraser. It actually nice to see Oppenheimer really understanding the ridiculous about this film and defiantly pushes the absurd comedy hidden within.
Love Mackay, who naturally looks like the guy from Garfield AND really plays up the innocence of his character. He is the hart of the film that really sticks everything together (even with my mis-givings).
I knew Oppenheimer of his masterful documentary way back in 2010s. It is by far one of the most memorable documentaries of all time AND that also has an ridiculous scenes that strays away from the dark absurdity of the film.
The bad, the music. On the very least, Oppenheimer knows the movie he is making and it really help take the bitter pill that is the musical. It literally was the musical tiktok. It is was not well written AND it is often times starts in the weirdest moments.
This would have been much better had it just be a straight forward end-of-the-world drama.
Soft recommendation.
