Production
On June 29, 2015 Daniel Radcliffe, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Paul Dano joined the cast.[1] Principal photography began on July 14, 2015 and ended on August 7, 2015.[2][3]
Release
The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2016.[4] On January 30, 2016 the film was acquired for distribution by A24.[5] The film was originally scheduled to be released on June 17, 2016.[6] But was moved back a week to June 24.[7] A24 also acquired global rights to the film, and will partner with distributors who already acquired foreign rights to the film.[8]
Reception
Early reception to the Sundance premiere was mixed; Variety reported that a "continuous stream of audience members kept standing up and bolting for the door throughout the film", alienated by the film's bizarre premise.[9] The Hollywood Reporter felt that "forming a counterpoint to all the bodily function knockabout, Dano and Radcliffe, both fully committing with delectable zeal, project a certain tragic fragility that adds heft to the proceedings."[4]
The directors, Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, also won the Best Director or Directing award in the US Dramatic category at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.[10]
Based on 22 reviews, the film has received an approval score of 73% on Rotten Tomatoes.[11]
