I am reviewing this title because I'm surprised that it only has 7 reviews since its release in 2011. "Septien" is an oddball mumblecore indie comedy revenge type drama that is as entertaining as it os unique. It is directed by Michael Tully and there are several iconic indie faces associated with this movie including Onur Tukel and Jeremy Saulnier. This is possibly Tully's most notable film up to that point. I saw his latest feature "Don't Leave Home" first but I have always known of "Septien" and was always curious about its unique aura. I finally saw it for the first rime recently on DVD and it met my long time expectations. Funny, weird, gross, offbeat, and irregular are just some of the words that could describe this movie. There is some good developments in this movie like the unexpected skill and agility of our lead character, Cornelius, and the domino effect of the coach's past actions. There are some very funny moments but at its core, "Septien" is a touching story of friendship, brotherhood, and smothering the demons that eat at all of us. Working together and staying strong, the Rawling boys are unstoppable.
