There is an independent film on NetFlix right now entitled, “Radio Free Albemuth“.  Most of the reviews were highly negative but I think it’s a worthwhile watch.  I think the reviews were negative because anything that’s not a formula mainstream movie tends to get negative reviews no matter how good it is.

     There is a lot of subtle metaphor and references in this film that I suspect was lost on the reviewers and unfortunately will be lost on the majority of viewers, but if you catch the metaphors and other subtle aspects of the film, there is some meat.

     It’s not a big production film, it’s small, quirky, and I think worth a watch.  It was hardly deserving of the “R” rating that it got.  I suspect that the ratings board didn’t want young minds influenced in a way that might be a threat to the powers that be.
