Absolute bollocks.
If you like Alice in Wonderland, you might like this. It’s not for me.
To the extent that anything is actually happening in this film, it’s about a stage magician who checks into a hotel only for the exit to disappear, leaving him trapped in a labyrinth filled with a cast of characters. When I first read the description for the film, I was on the fence, worried it might be wacky. It’s worse than wacky. It’s boring.
“Cast of characters” is a bit of an exaggeration. There are people, one or two of which have a shtick, but neither they, nor the interactions they have with the main character are meaningful. Everything is just an obstacle course for the main guy reaching his goal.
So what about the main character? Is he interesting? Is his goal compelling? No. Since the world has no rules, there are no stakes. Even if you were just watching the main character go on some emotional journey, you could forgive the nonsense of it all, but Crispin Glover gives a really muted performance that goes nowhere.
I have absolutely no idea what they were going for with this, but whatever it was, the result is dull as sin.
