Swiss Army Man (2016)

Acting: 7
Dialogue: 8
Score: 10
Cinematography: 10
Rewatchable: Sort of!

Synposis: A guy stranded on an island finds a dead body that can do lots of things, like a Swiss army knife. The two of them embark on a journey back to civilization.

This movie was great! It started out slow, but by the time the end credits rolled I was sort of sad it finished. Paul Dano, possibly one of the most underrated actors alive (along with Michael Shannon, Peter Sarsgaard and Kelly O'Reilly) does a killer job as usual.

Daniel Radcliffe, whose last few movies have been in attempt to break out of the type cast the Harry Potter series placed him in, surprisingly delivers too. (It's really hard to act as a dead person, guys)

But the shining point in the movie was the songs. I was expecting the movie to get Best Original Song and Best Score oscar nominations. But it was overlooked, sadly. Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the writers and directors, really made a gem debut.
