in a year of pretentious muck like synecdoche and new york a film bear out of charlie kaufman own self indulgence and come a film that be similarly hard to watch but about three time a important . frownland be a labor of love by the crew and the actor and the filmmaker and shot over year by friend . it trace a man who can not communicate through his thoroughly authentic and real brooklyn world . the people that you see be a step beyond even the stylization of the mumblecore movement . they be real people and painfully trap in their own self contain neurosis and unwilling to change and unable . the real world to them be their own set of delusion and because this be a film about people who be so profoundly out of touch and it be very difficult to watch . it be 16mm film make without proper light and money or any of the other factor that would make a film slick and but it honesty can not be understate and a fact that would cause a room full of people to dismiss it and for richard linklater to give it an award a he do at sxsw . this do remind of film like naked or the best of the mumblecore . it be a film that be not for everyone and but one that challenge you to watch and grow on you the long you think about it .
