Swiss Army Man

Swiss Army Man is driected by new comers known as the Daniels (Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan). The film is about Hank (Paul Dano) who has found himself lost and ready to kill himself when Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) comes a shore. Manny is a dead man that has some powers that will help Hank go home.

The Daniels have arrived and they have made a statement with this film. Much like a earlier A24 film (The Witch). This is the pairs directorial debut and man was this film unique and odd way to start. The style is finding the beauty in odd, gross, and random things. The film is honestly beautiful and very funny. The two really know how to tell this odd story about life. The films tone works and the pace is great never getting boring. The script is really well done being able to make this unbelievable stuff believable. Also carrying these themes that it whats to talk about to the viewer. The Daniels you now have a fan and I will easily want to watch your next film.

Dano and Radcliffe are amazing in the film. They have great back and forth. The also play this stuff off really well and straight as they can. Parts are supposed to be funny and parts are supposed to be thoughtful. My hats off to the part becasue I can only imagine what they thought when they got the script. Swiss Army Man is a wholely goofy film. It takes that goofness and constantly slams it in your face for it whole run time. So for some this will be a huge turn off. Which this I can completely understand. This is one of the few films. I am gonna recommend to everyone even if it is odd as all hell. Just because there maybe something you may enjoy in the oddness. I really don't have any faults for the this film. It is hands down the best comedy I have seen all year. With being really funny and also having something to say about life. Go see it. Watch the trailer below if it is not your taste then skip it but if you at all a little bit interested then see the movie. I give it my highest praise
