People say this is about a disturbed man, but it's more about the reality some end up living in society. If you've ever been completely alone, hungry and unloved since birth you'll understand this movie. Obviously this isn't for everyone. It touches on places we avoid, and for good reason. It's completely realistic for the most part. I think the parts of murderous fantasy and the end relationship were more for plot rather than realism. Very heavy on monologues. The monologues can be really powerful and honest but they can also be a little repetitive. Some of the messages in this movie are about class, morality, law, consciousness, and the meaning of life itself. Whilst the honesty and intellegence in the messages make them brilliant, it still becomes a little repetitive as nothing new is layered each time they're revisited. So this can feel slow.

In monologue format, this movie is deeply indigestible and disturbing. The plot is dense, raw, full of degrading characters and cold, melancholic expressions. As the narrative progresses, the atmosphere becomes increasingly uncomfortable, culminating in truly nauseating moments. The script is impactful, full of cynicism and hate speech, which makes it extremely controversial. In addition, the explicit scenes contribute to the feeling of heaviness and discomfort that permeates the entire film.

The movie is a trip. Also has a few disturbing parts and some full penetration. But overall, you tagged along in the mind of a man who is having some troubles.

_I Stand Alone_ / _Seul Contre Tous_ is like a Bukowski poem written in IMPACT font and punctuated with gunshots. Sadly, I prefer Bukowski written by hand and punctuated with bloody tears. Look, I'm totally on board with the in-your-face filmmaking, I just don't like what he's sticking in my face.
