Adam Egypt Mortimer's follow up to Some Kind of Hate, is a vast improvement. When i saw that film i was turned off by the mean spirited nature and found the film to lack a sense of fun. Daniel Isn't Real is still super bleak but not mean spirited, and while this isn't a fun laugh a minute, it is still light enough to have an aura of fun. This is highly inspired by the Davids, Lynch & Cronenberg, and the plot is a full on Cronenberg film that feels like something his son would have directed. It is surreal and times and disturbing but it falls apart in the last act. It is still a film that i could see gaining a cult following in upcoming years.
