Film Review - Buzzard
March 05, 2015
“Buzzard” is a difficult film to describe and a taxing movie to sit through. Taking on the angry young man genre, writer/director Joel Potrykus dries up the rage and keeps the unrest, electing for a darkly comic approach to troubling psychological behavior. It’s a strange effort that only reaches for modest goals in laughs and disturbing material. It’s more comfortable in stasis, with long stretches of the feature devoted to mind-numbing tasks. For some, the mummification of pace will take on a higher meaning, reflecting the slack-jawed state of working-class millennials. For everyone else, “Buzzard” might register as unforgivable tedium, missing the type of dramatic surges necessary to reward such concentration on nothingness. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
