I saw this at the Hell's Half Mile film festival in Bay City, Michigan and was absolutely mesmerized by it. It's one of those movies you need to see several times to fully understand it (i really doubt that I did) but it's such a wonderful visual experience that it aches to be seen on a big screen. It feels loose and improvised, though I doubt that it was, and the cast is just so damn cool. I mean, Neko Case and John Doe?! Come on!!! Stylistically, it's all over the place, which could hurt but really serves the film and the entire experience. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie where every moment was a surprise and every image a work of art.

One of the worst movies I've ever seen in my entire life. The plot was overly convoluted in an attempt to seem deep, while in reality nothing of importance happened the entire movie. At the end, they just ride away and say "welp, nothing mattered the whole time." Aesthetically, probably the ugliest movie I've ever had the displeasure of sitting through. Terrible artificial intelligence rotoscoping in an attempt to make up for a shoestring budget (and if I'm wrong about the rotoscoping being done by computers (which I'm not) then the filmmakers are even more stupid because it looks just as bad). Performances were mostly okay actually (hence the four stars), Lily Gladstone and John Way do as good a job as they could considering the horrendous script. I would recommend watching it only if you get tickets for free and are supposed to be standing outside of the venue the entire time anyways (which was the case for me).

QUANTUM COWBOYS is a very challenging film yet so much fun to watch, talk about with your friends afterwards, speculate and theorize about. This movie takes such huge and ambitious swings intellectually and visually there is no way you can't applaud it. Director/writer Geoff Marslett is a true mad scientist of a filmmaker with a wild imagination.

The cast and performances are captivating. It's so easy to fall in love with the trio of Lily Gladstone, Kiowa Gordon and John Way. David Arquette and Frank Mosley as Colfax and DePew really daw you in and help bring even more scope and layers to the story. The rest of the supporting cast bring so much life, fun and intrigue. I cant believe French New Wave icon, ANNA KARINA is this movie!!!

I want all the sequels/spinoffs to QUANTUM COWBOYS so definitely tell your friends about this and check it out!
