After 25 years of secluded existence with his protective parents in their isolated, off the grid home, James is tossed out into a new life in relatively daunting Cedar Hills, Utah. As his world upends, the most shocking revelation to James is that he's the only person who has ever watched his favorite television program, Brigsby Bear Adventures. Struggling to adjust to the show's abrupt end, he begins to see Brigsby's lessons as his only way to make sense of a big, scary new world, and James decides to make a movie to end Brigsby's story and re-begin his own. (Sundance Film Festival)

There are not that many movies shot for geeks by geeks. And even though I’m only giving it three stars, I’m still glad I watched it. It’s crazy, which is to be expected, but because of some moments I thought were illogical, I can’t rate it any higher. Even for me, this movie was far too quirky and weird. And even though it’s got its moments and a very strong ending, Brigsby Bear didn’t manage to grow on me.

I guess I was expecting this film to be a little weirder. At the beginning it seemed to have an interesting retro atmosphere, but in the end it turned out that it only flashed in places instead of really shining. Even so, Brigsby Bear is a film that is a very specific experience worth going through.
