The Wackness (2008) – 4.5/5

This movie was ridiculous. Ben Kingsley snorting Ritalin and having sex with Mary Kate Olsen in a phone booth? Some actor from an old Nickelodeon show peddling weed? Not one, but three graphic sex scenes involving Olivia Thirbly? Good God, this movie has it all!

All joking aside, this was an interesting movie. A bit too stylized at times, but still very much enjoyable. And the acting, man, what great acting, especially from the main character. Where did this guy come from? He reminded me of a young Ryan Gosling. If he keeps this up, I see an Oscar in his future. And in what other movie are you going to see Ben Kingsley bear a striking resemblance to Harvey Keitel for no reason whatsoever? Nowhere, that’s where.

And did I mention Olivia Thirlby’s multiple, somewhat graphic sex scenes? Go watch this film!
