Our Score
by
Alan Jones
Disgustingly infantile or poignantly oddball? This debut feature from Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert sparks division, but one thing's for certain: this combo of
Cast Away
and
Weekend at Bernie's
draws a line under Daniel Radcliffe's past as
Harry Potter
. It is a curious fable of an imaginary friendship between suicidal loser Hank (Paul Dano) and the decomposing corpse he dubs Manny (Radcliffe) that has washed up on the island he is stranded on. While contemplating death, he begins an uncompromising journey into unexpected laughter, off-putting shock and emotional suspense. Manny becomes Hank's all-purpose survival tool with his flatulence used as jet propulsion, post-mortem erections as a field compass, his empty stomach a handy water canteen etc. There's an inconsistency in tone ranging between frenzied delirium and stilted dullness that means it is sporadically fun but overreaches as a surreal "bromance". Still, the film-makers are consistently inventive in ways you can't un-see, with images you truly won't forget.
