Some may find this movie unbearable; yet there's a place for pictures that push us to the limits of forbearance. Sometimes, even the loathsome have stories worth telling. Full Review

Potrykus found innumerable ways to render cinematic the film's single location, a grungy Michigan apartment where a childlike slacker spends months trying to reach the fabled 257th level of Pac-Man. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- It's endearing, hilarious, and disgusting all at once, before a whiff of a finale that's bold and cosmic. Full Review

Through its precise filmmaking and whirlwind script about one loser who never gets off the couch, it's a magnetic, five-senses experience for slacker cinema. Full Review

Product Description:

Writer-director Joel Potrykus' off-kilter drama features Joshua Burge, original music by Neon Indian, and social critique in the form of an offbeat lowbrow aesthetic. Burge plays a young man who accepts the challenge of sticking to his couch until he surpasses level 256 of Pac-Man in 1999 (the eve of the digital age) in hopes of winning a $100,000 cash prize.
