I can't think of anything else quite a like this - especially for anyone familiar with Northampton. A quirky twist on UK gangsters, a little humorous, a little violent, bouts of bad language, mostly dark, a little convoluted.
I don't know who this will appeal to. The synopsis for The Show is a really poor description of it, so I'd actually recommend you give it a watch for yourself.
I had no idea what to expect. This was a very interestingly, delightfully weird movie. It's a bit of a mash-up of various genres. It's a little absurd. Sure it has some (a lot?) of plot holes. But most importantly it is thoroughly entertaining. By the end of the movie, I wanted more. There are many more stories that could be told in this setting.
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

My gods. Another random jewel I happened upon. What an inspiring piece of art.
“Dreams and illusions are serious things.
They can enslave people.”
Damn, I love movies with dream sequences. These are excellent.
As I have a huge soft spot for weird flicks.
This one is DELIGHTFUL.
And the actors. They actually look like real people, not like movie stars.
“Waste of time. The man’s an absolute artist.”
I wish people would take dreams more seriously, like they do here. What a world. It’s like some secret homage to the Sandman.
“We are in a series of infinitely nested computer games”. Ah yes. A work of my liking.
I love “exit technician”
That little head turn and “mmh” when she says “you’d do that? You’d stay up all night and watch me sleep… and not exit me?” was the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. This was gold.
“The only reason anyone suspects that you exist, is because that’s what the mathematics point to”
My gods, this thing is fantastic.
“You died… and yet you are alive in dreams?”
I’m eating this up. Or the thing about sorcery and poetry being so similar that it’s difficult to differentiate. “Both rather highly strung and no one believes in either of them.”
