Buster's Mal Heart
We may see here many of the powerful events that speak of an extraordinary man running away from the authorities but perhaps there may be a goal he wants to achieve in those circumstances. He tries to survive the winter by breaking into new holiday homes. In the end, the man reaches the point that he has been able to communicate with radio talk shows and may want to meet his specific goal.

Wickedly wry, unexpectedly empathetic, and deliberately provocative

"Buster's Mal Heart" is an intensely weird film, at times difficult to sort out and process, much less understand. See it anyway.

It's a confident weirdness that "Buster's Mal Heart" boasts as it dissects a damaged soul for signs of what's eternal and what's triggered when a man breaks in two.

Malek is always a fascinating screen presence, but he can't do much with long stretches of silent contemplation, especially when half of those find him buried under silly mountain-man makeup.

What makes it compelling is Malek's solid performance.

The combination of this casual sadism and the movie's hollow aspirations toward Camus territory makes the whole affair unpleasant and insufferable.

Smith's idiosyncratic style isn't going to please everyone, but she deserves top marks for bold ideas and storytelling.

Even when the film tarries perilously close to Fight Club "what is reality?" territory, it works to ultimately benefit the whole.

Happily, the weirdness is not for its own sake, and the story, while scrambled, is anything but incoherent.

"Buster's Mal Heart" achieves resonance through repeated imagery.

If you appreciate a writer/director and actor who swing for the fences and chase after big questions ... this has a dreamlike beauty that may catch you in its spell.

Thinks of Buster's Mal Heart as a visual poem about the suffocating sadness of a world in which we're victim to unfair rules. How does it make you feel?
