Swiss Army Man [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Hank, stranded on a deserted island and about to kill himself, notices a corpse washed up on the beach. He befriends it, naming it Manny, only to discover that his new friend can talk and has a myriad of supernatural abilities…which may help him get home.

I never thought in a million years I’d give five stars to a movie with this many fart references…but here I am. Seriously, I was unsure through the first few minutes, but I held on, and I’m so glad that I did. This movie is weird, but beautiful. Bizarre and thought-provoking. As a medical professional, I deal with people who are on their way out all the time, and truly, the aging and decomposition of a body is a strange and powerful thing, and this movie touches on that, but so much more. The references to what is real and what is important, what is valuable and what is merely a passing thing, and how the power of knowing that we are NOT alone is enough to bring about miracles.
I’ve never seen Paul Dano before, but his acting is superb, and Daniel Radcliff is *singularly* amazing in this movie. I can’t think of many actors who could portray a dead body this convincingly, much less the emotional and spiritual evolution the character experiences through the film.
I don’t know that I’d pass this movie along to just anybody, but to those I thought would understand, I will absolutely recommend. This movie is amazing. 🙂
