This right here is a very weird movie. And "Three Kings" (previous movie by the same director) does not prepare you for what you're about to see. A movie that tries to handle our being/existing in this world and especially tries to creep into a mind of someone who tries to uncover the "meaning" of .. well everything.
Does it succeed? It does succeed in being weird and awkward that is for sure. It has the right actors to give it that special vibe too. Dustin Hoffman could sell you that sheet (and the idea of all being one and the same more or less), even Mark Wahlberg (also seen in Three Kings) can handle the craziness with ease. It's Schwartzmanns movie though and he runs with the wild ideas of the script. Will this movie give you answers to possible questions you had? No. Will it be able to entertain you? Depends on your mood and expectations
