In Simon Aboud’s This Beautiful Fantastic, that charm is milked for all its worth and appeals utterly to audience members hungry for the quintessentially twee indie film missing in their life. Throughout its runtime, This Beautiful Fantastic appears to continually try to outdo itself with its weirdness, beginning … Continue reading Review: This Beautiful Fantastic dir. Simon Aboud
