While not exactly a masterpiece, "Infinity Baby" takes on a social issue that many are too self-conscious to examine for themselves -- when does not caring stop being cool? Babies that don't age is a funny premise that initially drew me to this film. It's funny and oddly disturbing, and so is "Infinity Baby." Without spoiling what is a slow burn (despite it's tiny 80 minute runtime), I can tell you that the film is absurd and hard to piece together for the first hour or so, and takes a swift and dark turn for its climax. The characters are wonderfully scripted, and all are memorable (although some roles are much smaller than others). A stellar cast full of energetic actors delivers an overall incredible performance, all while preserving a sense of spontaneity that matches nicely with the film's black-and-white tone. Despite having a plot that seems to be on par with those of "Black Mirror," the film never loses awareness of its own quirk and is consistently funny (although in more of an Andy Kaufman way and less of a Kevin Hart way, if you get me). Those who enjoy criticism of social issues, absurdism, and who appreciate a slow-burn should definitely check out this film. While not game-changing, it's an enjoyable and brief watch.

Infinity Baby was delicious! I saw it at Traverse City Film Festival and a wave of hilarious nausea filled me as I watched Kieran make many of the hellaciously fallacious choices I have made.... sigh, to be a footloose roustabout again...OH! The cinematography had that magical feel of Antonioni, with the clean black and white lines and emotional turmoil underneath. It lent a bedrock to the madness that I found unsettling as well as comforting. And I want to spray bleach in my lover's eyes now.

This movie does a great job at balancing absurdist comedy with thought-provoking social commentary. The subject matter explores a near-future society that parodies many highly criticized aspects of our modern world: laziness, mindless subscription, shallowness, etc. However, you won't get bogged down in pressing social messages, it's just really funny. The world is heightened by intriguing cinematography taken from locations in Austin, TX. Great performances from everyone on board, especially Megan Mullally who really shines here. Nick Offerman is hilarious as well, as always.

Perhaps I saw a re-edited film. I saw this on April 4 at the WI film festival. The film was funny (and coherent). It was running short at only 70 mins and Bob Byington said he was planning on re-editing it for another showing in San Francisco. I really enjoyed the film. Lots of strong performances by well known actresses / actors. I recommend this film.
