Lobotomobile

About This Movie

So, 'Lobotomobile' is this quirky 2008 musical that dives into the bizarre life of Dr. Walter Freeman, who was notorious for his lobotomies. It's got this offbeat tone—kind of darkly humorous but with a lightness that makes it oddly enjoyable. The pacing’s a bit erratic, which fits the subject matter, honestly. The performances are a mixed bag; some really lean into the absurdity, while others feel more subdued. It's not your typical musical, either; the practical effects are minimal but done in a way that enhances the strangeness of it all. It’s distinctive, for sure—who else would turn such a grim topic into a catchy tune? You might find it a curious watch, especially if you appreciate the odd corners of film history.

Definitely a niche interest film. · Not for everyone, given the subject matter. · Interesting blend of comedy and music with a somber theme.
