Ray

About This Movie

So, Ray is a bit of an oddity in the comedy realm. This 2022 flick dives into the absurdity of a protagonist who's really just a mess—an alcoholic who stumbles upon a superpower that's laughably useless. The tone swings between slapstick and dry humor, making the pacing feel a bit like a rollercoaster ride through a pub. What struck me was how the practical effects, when used, added a layer of ridiculousness that fits the whole vibe. The performances are raw; you can tell the actors were going for authenticity over polish. It's not like your typical superhero tale, more like a commentary on expectations vs. reality, and it knows it’s silly, which gives it an odd charm.
