Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJust like the rest of the film, The Pink Opaque segments that appear throughout the film were also shot in 35mm, but later transferred to both VHS and Betamax in post-production to create the show's different period-specific degradations.
- GoofsIn the voting machine, the ballot shows the familiar names of candidates in the 1996 U.S. Presidential Election ("Bill Clinton / Al Gore"), but ballots for major elections have the full names of those running. The candidates should be listed as William J. Clinton, Albert A. Gore, Robert J. Dole, etc.
- Quotes
Maddy: Time wasn't right. It was moving too fast. And then I was 19. And then I was 20. I felt like one of those dolls asleep in the supermarket. Stuffed. And then I was 21. Like chapters skipped over on a DVD. I told myself, "This isn't normal. This isn't normal. This isn't how life is supposed to feel."

Featured review
It's nicely shot a bunch of intentionally bad acting of rather shallow script.
I didn't give it rating of 1 because the movie did awake a wide range of emotions, but unfortunately those mostly had to do with fighting urge of rage quitting. It was rather clear it's not going to get any better, and that's after seeing through the major plot points I was later surprised I was right about, after reading about interview with the director.
Do yourself a favor and stay clear away, unless you're too high to fight this mess of a movie. The time is too precious to be wasted, and even the visuals and music don't make up for the rest.
