We never fully comprehend why actor James Franco would want to partake in such a film, but he is certainly to be admired for his diligence and determination in what many considered a foolhardy project for the A lister. The film fascinatingly touches on his involvement and explores the possibility of repercussions affecting his Hollywood career. After all one has to admit this is a long way from Disney's Oz.
The film does raise many very pertinent points about human conditioning and sexuality which are definitely topics for debate. However, because of its subject matter and some explicit sexual material, it will certainly have a very limited audience. Ultimately, and in all probability, it will find itself preaching to the converted. Oddly, though, it was meant to be a film about the afore mentioned cut 40 minutes. Well, we don't actually get to see that film. One is finally left feeling that, for all the little nuggets of thought provoking conversation raised, in the final analysis the resultant enterprise is somewhat redundant even though it is eminently watchable.
