MOVIE REVIEW - Jessie's Super Normal Regular Average Day
I had no prior knowledge of Jessie's Super Normal Regular Average Day (JSNRAD) before watching it, and I went into it with an open mind and no expectations. After watching it I can’t say I’m any wiser to what it’s actually about and may even be more confused. However, the film was certainly an eccentric and utterly unique experience.
"Is this even real? - Probably not”
This is a stoner comedy, a fact the movie makes clear from the start. The opening sequence is purposefully absurdist, littered with random imagery alongside drug paraphernalia and, interestingly, Ska music.
The film's style is striking. Vibrant colours and cluttered sets complement some of the most bizarre comedy I have ever seen. The protagonist’s journey is filled with ludicrous characters (like naked nuns speaking in tongues), nonsensical dialogue and some visually engaging scenes (the use of colour in the beach scenes is amazing).
