What worked:
We cannot not appreciate the amazing screenplay that the movie provides us, it's humorous, engaging and interesting, making it a very enjoyable movie viewing experience. Also, no need to mention the amazing direction. The movie is as good as it gets. It's stylish, fun and thrilling. As a mental health professional, I vouch for the intend of the movie and the areas that it tried to breakthrough. The leads are amazing in their respective roles. We must understand that the movie had something that we as viewers wanted to see in a movie, something cathartic about the characters and something dangerous and adventurous that we somehow wanted to see as a projection rather than seeing ourselves being in the situation. It's done a good job expressing the duality of human psyche, exploring the suppressed and unexpressed self in the characters in the movie. Overall a fine movie
What did not work: Some minor flaws are evident in the movie, which are not serious to mar the narrative. Also, the place that they live is awful, not as a set but as a place which means the makers have done their job fine. It's filthy and very nasty which was the intend afterall. I would have appreciated if I as a viewer knew more about this main character, this person, his complication in life and his psychological experience before getting into the ride into the fight club. Besides his insomnia we do not know much to tell us he has some major life stressors or something bothering him in his reality to vent into someone else. That would have been great. Or maybe as a mental health professional, I would have appreciated if the makers wrote a little bit different dialogues to convey his hallucinations and how to deal it other than the steps he take. It's just some thoughts but this movie still hails higher for many viewers for a reason Final verdict: highly recommended.
