Thanks for this review. I think you've captured what this bitter/sweet, surreal humerous and scary film is all about. As an avid storyteller myself interested in the representation of disability in story,I agree it was wonderful to see a disabled person portraying one of the central characters - and in a meanigful yet poinient role. There are so many layers within the plot, endless possibilities and interpretations.
As I left the cinima I couldn't but reflect upon the untimly death of Heath Leger what it must have been like for him to play such a role, and for the cast to continue filming as they did. I was pleased the film was finished, but I couldn't help but feel strange. Who knows where we go when we leave this world, what other realms we enter.....
It's worth seeing but not always an easy film to watch..
