i'm not exactly sure what to say about this film. it's stiflingly original, seething with subtle uproariousness, next descriptive adjective. one thing about this film i can say for sure, it jolted and altered me. it introduced me to a brand of comedy i had been all to unfamiliar with. mr. darling gave me hope in a girlfriends father, maybe someday father in law, that isn't a brutal judge of character, but rather an genuinely interesting subversion with the inner workings of a unbiased saint. this film has been an inspiration to me as a film viewer and as a human being. i expect many good things to come of young writer/director matthew lessner.
