The Show

While the plot was overly convoluted and the film probably requires multiple viewings to fully understand, The Show still featured an entertaining cast of eccentric side characters, making it an exaggerated and unforgettable examination of life in Northampton.

Honestly loved it, would give it 5 stars if there was another film or follow on series.

Excellent surreal noir fantasy. Loved it.

What Film is supposed to be. Creativity and originality, those rarest of wild creatures, have made a nest in the head of master storyteller Moore and hatched a plot to inspire the imagination, intelligence and sense of playfulness in as many grokking humans as possible. A film for artists, poets, writers, musicians and techno-shamans of all stripes: multi-layered surrealism that never falls into self-indulgence or over-seriousness. A childlike wonder lies just under the surface of the terribly hip and ultra-modern sensibilities, fostering great dialog and fleeting glimpses of a symbolic universe just beyond the grasp of rational constraints. The acting, too, embodies that symbolic universe, acting more like fingers pointing to the moon than realistic persons. All the darkness and light anyone could ask for, in a kaleidoscopic mixture of magic and the mundane. Just because it's a cliche, doesn't mean it isn't true: each repeated viewing uncovers more of the poetic genius behind artistic and magical intent. Also, it is Great Fun.

A thoroughly bizarre film with more than a few echoes of Twin Peaks. The director is overly fond of his dutch angles but it's sharply written and anything that can make Northampton seem interesting is well worth your time.

My senses were heightened ( no pun intended ) when I saw Tom Burke' name attached. Some of the throwaway lines are laugh out loud funny. " I see dead people", "you work in a hospital ?!". I mean, Steve Lipman is his character name ! Stick with it, it's a trippy little piece.

I mean, I give it props for being soo bizarre, this is the kind of weirdness I love. But I just didn't connect with any of it. Some of the visuals were cool, but I found myself struggling to follow the story or get invested in any of it. Maybe my expectations were just too high when I saw Alan Moore's name attached...

A little too complex for me to really enjoy, the special effects were neat and clean, the character development leaves a bit desired then I read about Alan Moore and just who he is, and the movie made a *little* more sense but not enough to raise the rating above *3* stars!!!

Between 2.5 and 3 stars. Alan Moore wears as a drag queen and enjoys very much in this movie which much atmosphere and no sense in the plot.

It was so weird and wonderful. It reminded me a tiny bit of twin peaks vibes. I really enjoyed it. I wish more films were this unique.
