Slipstream

Now is Slipstream worth seeing? I think so, if you'll actively engage your sympathy with Hopkins' attempt to do something tricky and difficult. If you want to lie back and let the movie come to you, you may be lying there a long time.

Slipstream is a properly bizarre journey.

Taking a cue from David Lynch, Hopkins fractures the narrative from the first frame, but unlike Lynch he doesn't go far enough in establishing a context from which to deviate. If the story fragments we're watching spring from the same mind, in other words, it's not obvious.

If not exactly dull, Hopkins' stream-of-consciousness rant is nonetheless self-indulgent and crammed with bits of business that never add up to anything much.

The film has moments of goofy delight, some pseudo-David Lynch spookery and a couple of comic supporting turns.

Apparently needing to release some private thoughts, musings and images to the world, Anthony Hopkins takes a leap into stunning self-indulgence with his directorial debut, Slipstream.

At 96 minutes, this vanity/insanity project runs a bit long; five minutes would have been plenty.

Do not even bother watching this movie, what a waste of time, it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I would rather watch a turtle race than this. I wanted to understand what was the thinking behind it so I saw the special features making of segment and they were comparing this movie to movies made by Federico Fellini and Ingmar Bergman what a joke...
