A Scanner Darkly Ratings & Reviews
- tellumApril 10, 2025Honestly hard to critique this movie because it’s very experimental and deliberately breaks a lot of rules in regard to normal story telling. The visual style and plot progression are unlike any movie you are going to see. If you want something completely unconventional then give this a try, but this won’t appeal to most movie watchers.
- Mason FitchueAugust 11, 2025Great movie great book great cast
- NonPlayableContentJune 23, 2025The style looks jokingly bad at times but it's so unique. Im always interested in the story even on multiple rewatches because I love showing the movie to people
