The premise sounds like an off-Broadway play gone wrong. Far from it — this is extraordinary, vital, and fuelled by great performances. Read full review

The Daniels have made a film that’s at once a labor of love and a work of sheer arrogant nerve, one that is as likely to be described as a classic, an ambitious misfire, and one of the worst films ever made by any three people who see it together. How many movies can you say that about? Read full review

Impossible to categorize, this stunningly original mix of the macabre and the magical combines comedy, tragedy, fantasy and love story into an utterly singular package that’s beholden to no rules but its own. Read full review

It’s all kind of amusing, and that would be fine but for the fact that the filmmakers offer many openings where they seem to be in search of deeper meaning. Read full review

There are times when this mindbending bromance actually achieves a twisted tenderness. There are also times when you’d like to ride Manny’s farts to the nearest exit. It’s your call. Read full review

Swiss Army Man is a powerfully audacious and wilfully odd odyssey that is too nervy and strangely emotional to dismiss outright but, ultimately, isn’t satisfying enough to provoke a full-throated defence, either. Read full review

A ridiculously infantile film, one that flatters itself by intimating a deeper comment about suppressed masculinity or romantic passivity. Read full review

Swiss army man is my favorite movie, only a few hours after I saw it. Its truly magical, one of the most enchanting experiences of my life. I was the only person clapping at the end; this film gave me the courage to think that’s okay. This movie is more than good; It changed my life. Watch it.

Невероятное кино в нестандартной оболочке.
Многие пройдут мимо, заострив внимание на пердеже и шутках про мастурбацию, мол, как это может нравится адекватному человеку. Но за этим скрыто не мало смысла и замечательной драмы, да и для ценителей такого юмора, всё же, реально смешная комедия.… Expand

A really beautiful journey, it’s weird and really awkward at the beginning but gets charming pretty fast. Great cinematography and even better sound track.
For some reason people complaining about the film have a really childish view of the elements involves, the farts, boner and other… Expand

Let’s give a film credit for its originality while also saying there are some aspects that just don’t work. All the performances are great especially Daniel Radcliffe it really takes a unique actor to pull off his role. Overall if you can make it through all the farting there really is an… Expand

This movie was bat **** insane and I enjoyed the huge insanity of it.In some parts the humor was bad but this movie confused me and made me cry so I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to watch something new.

Going into Swiss Army Man, you cannot help but be prepared for the preposterous narrative at hand. I mean, the narrative is simple, well, kind of simple…well, not really.

The newest film to feature the actor who once played one of the most magical and profitable wizards in the film world,… Expand

Never have I seen a movie more obsessed with farting and masturbation.

This is a weird, weird movie, which I think you might have guessed from the trailer. Where this movie fails is in its pacing. This is a very, very slow-paced movie, despite being quite short. The first 20 minutes or so… Expand
