Visioneers is Cinematic Equivalent of Comfort Food,
By Spencer Tinder “uncleboris” (tempe, az united states) -
Brandon and Jared Drake’s independently produced comedy is an exceptional first feature effort as a writer/director team. Earlier reviews have connected the film’s themes and settings to some known dystopian society stories, like Orwell’s 1984, Gilliam’s BRAZIL, and even Mike Judge’s more recent IDIOCRACY; however, I believe VISIONEERS stands very well on its own and is best viewed with all comparisons minimized or even set aside completely. This is an accessible dark comedy comprised of equal parts corporate satire with genuine warmth and sweetness.
As an actual distressed lower-level employee in an increasingly grim society, and as an admirer of the more personal stories often told by the independents, I think VISIONEERS is a highly satisfying and worthwhile experience. I would definitely recommend this film to fans of Zach Galifianakis and to those who are looking for something a little different.
Zach G proves his acting chops,
By C. England “ce1050″ (Austin, TX) -
I’ve been among the dedicated fans Zach Galifianakis’ ingenious comedy for a few years now, and it seems like the rest of the world is now catching up. Zach was the standout element in this summer’s The Hangover (a film which on the whole I wasn’t too impressed by). In Visioneers, though, Zach is the leading man and proves he can carry a subtle, darkly comic role as George Washington Winsterhammerman, a corporate drone working for the Jeffers Corporation, the largest and friendliest and most profitable corporation in the history of all mankind.
This film is fresh, unexpected and sincere. With throwbacks to Brazil, Schizopolis and (underrated) Idiocracy, Visioneers builds a universe that has just enough similarity to our own to feel genuine, but is far enough out there to descend into total chaos.
Like a Harold Pinter play got into a fist fight with Office Space, tripped over Lynch and fell into a puddle of Farenheit 451,
By M. Spano -
If that title isn’t enough to make you watch, then you are a fool.
This movie rocked in many ways, none of which I will describe to you because the less you know the better in this case.
Get it. Watch it. Love it. Show it to your friends. Rinse. Repeat.
