It didn't cure my insomnia...
EddyTheMartian0076 July 2019
I've suffered from insomnia for a long time. It's very difficult for me to fall asleep, and when I do I can only sleep for about an hour max. When I heard of this movie I was so excited. "Finally, might I be able to sleep well for once in my miserable life?!" I thought to myself, but 3 days and 15 hours later, after I finish this motion picture, I tried to sleep.

I have not slept since I watched this cursed movie. The X-Rated footage spliced in, with the rock, and the poem. EVERYTHING, I SEE IT ALL AGAIN WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES. I've gone to multiple therapists, multiple doctors. They say it tapped into something in my past. I've been traumatized. I haven't slept since I watched this movie 2 weeks ago. My eyes burn, my body feels broken... I don't know if I can go on.

0/10 did not fix my insomnia, and I might die.

glad thats over

well i spent the last year watching whenever possible this 85 hour film if you can call it that. even if you dont call it a movie its nevertheless brilliant. ANY man who can film a movie of this magnitude deserves an oscar for best attempt. i heard that at some college kids sat and watched all day for a few days this movie which is just plain ridiculous without a real plot its just mindless babble (often hilarious,often no purpose) well never the less check it out next time u have 85 hours to your self

Woah, this looks like it sucks

Never seen this movie, as I wasn't born before it even came out, and because it was released in a film festival or something, but I did see Lee Groban talking about it in a video, and it looked like he was all weirded out. Also the fact that there was XXX material in it is not good. Really wish this wasn't lost, though, because that would have probably been cool to see an 85 hour long film that only took a year and a half to make. Not because of the XXX material though, don't think I'm a perv. Also, how could this possibly be a cure for insomnia? From what I've heard, it not only has adult material, but it also has heavy metal music too. What?

By the beard of.. Lee Groban

The Magnificence of the poem is legend. LEE Groban is forever and legend for art, poetry and human performance every day he lived. RIP live on by his art and stories told. I knew him about 25 yrs. Genuine. Creative.

about 15min too long

9/10, great film, to be honest i wouldve made it about 15 minutes shorter, the last part was really dragged out, the acting was great, the plot was great, but i think it went on just a little too long, if it was half an hour shorter, i wouldve given it a 10/10, didnt like the clean, shorter version much, Lee Groban is a genius, RIP, his poetry is amazing, genius, this movie shouldve won many many academy awards. It was a good way to kill my boredom when i had covid because it took only 4 days to finish. And it was a cinematic masterpiece, ill just say, Highly recommend this to anyone who likes a slightly longer film with meaning.

A legend for the time of Feaks and Hippies

Warning: Spoilers
I saw parts of it... I think.. ah ha. . SAIC/unsanctioned *(lol) screening very few saw it. It was an experience. I recall bits.. saw it. In awe, people. Mostly artists. Floated in and out as the spirit moved them. I laughed. I cried. I owe one or more of my art brain cells to this performance. Film event. 87 hrs. No longer exists but in our minds eye.. fur sur.
