Two things that micro-budget films don't do well is that they're normally either boring or unoriginal. This film is neither.
It's interesting, weird and laugh out loud funny.
Some of my favourite bits:
Really enjoyed, it was smart without being pretentious and it was funny without falling on usual comedy trope.

Some of my favourite bits:
- They spend the whole first part of the film just waiting for it to rain so they can film their first scene. This is communicated almost without dialogue.
- In the flashback they look completely different even though it was only 6 months ago.
- Once it goes going it seems to be a mix of a genuine documentary and a fictionalized version of the them making. At first I thought it was just a fictional story about making a documentary, so this is a lovely twist I haven't seen anywhere else before.
- It's a nice little clip in time that it's set near the London Olympics. I liked the scene where they rent out their house to tourists so have to camp in their garden. Again, love how unexplicit this is cos they trust the audience to know what's going on.
- Recording foley in the garden.
- Hell is empty, and all the devils are /here/?
- The band on it sound amazing. I hope they're real. (I've looked them up! They are!)
