Vincent Must Die

I really loved the first the 50 minutes of this movie as filmmaker Stéphan Castang provides an interesting premise that includes some interesting satirical, comedic, and apocalypse themes within the narrative. Unfortunately, the movie does overstays its welcome a bit.

Throughout, the narrative offers some funny and weird concepts that are interesting and outrageous. I appreciate the direction, the tone and good performance from the main lead actor. However, the issue is that the narrative doesn't live up with it's premise as after the 50 minute mark, the themes and tone feels lost with some unnecessary subplots and ideas that never took full advantage of it's creative setting. Regarding the pacing, structure, and style, the movie has a solid atmosphere and never once was I bored observing the movie.

I do wish the writing could be stronger but as a whole, it was an decent movie that I appreciated.
