As is the case with many themed anthologies with filmmakers from all over the board, this is a mixed bag of goodies - but that's not a bad thing at all, as it shows a wide range of approaches to the common theme, from the intentionally trashy to the artistic, the dead serious to the downright funny, the abstract to the in-your-face, and likewise the films vary wildly in look and feel. As a result it's of course only natural that not all the movies collected here will be exactly to your liking, as that's just the nature of a project like this, but at the same time the film has pretty much at least something to love for everybody. And on top of that, indie fans like myself will also marvel at the variety present in off-mainstream cinema!
