Upstream Color is one of the strangest, most interesting films I've ever seen. It's extremely weird, wildly original, and masterfully put together. Although the pace is a little slow, the film's ending left me feeling flabbergasted at how amazing the whole experience was. This isn't a film to everyone's taste, and I can understand that (kind of like myself and The Tree of Life). I'm still beaming over how different this film is. Just when I thought 2013 was becoming a pretty dud year for cinema, Shane Carruth surprised me with a touching, mind-bending, and quite an uplifting film about a subject I'd never even heard of before. I don't know what else to say really, except that I love this movie!
