Bathed in a strange glow as it captures people in moments of surreal epiphany, ‘Greener Grass’ distorts reality through a dreamlike lens. DeBoer and Luebbe have created a world of blunt allegories and social antagonisms, perverted by a unique style into a manic, nearly unclassifiable black comedy. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-greener-grass-a-deeply-odd-and-very-funny-suburban-nightmare

There's a difference between true absurdism, and just doing random shit to be "quirky", but apparently nobody told the people who made this movie that. Embarassingly unfocused film where every gag goes on far too long to be funny, but that's OK as very few of them were every funny to begin with. The whole dog thing, Twilson, they're like an SNL-friendly version of a Tim and Eric skit, but stretched out to an entire subplot of a feature film and with delusions of grandeur that they're making some grand point about the dark underbelly of suburbia or whatever bollocks. The jokes are all designed by committee to be giffed on Tumblr ("your mother is not a school!" stands out particularly as this), and the meandering narrative cull-de-sacs aren't clever or avant-garde, they're just a waste of runtime. Blue Velvet for Welcome to Night Vale fans.
