I loved it. My review is below.
Interesting thing: when I saw Wanda June, the audience laughed through the whole thing. It was a great comedy with serious, creepy, upsetting undertones.
When two friends of mine saw it, no one laughed. For them, it was just serious, creepy, and upsetting.
I had a similar experience the other night when I saw The Hollower. I felt that it was supposed to be funny. There were points where I almost laughed, but the atmosphere in the theatre was somehow not conducive to laughter. Afterward, I asked someone with the theatre if audiences usually laughed. He said, yes, they did, and that it was clear from the beginning that we were a tough audience. I didn't feel like a tough audience; I felt more that no one broke the ice laughing, and then it was too late. |
