Willy's Wonderland

Surprisingly decent FNAF-esque ride with terrifying animatronics. And Nic Cage says nothing. Whether or not that’s good is your decision.

Rating: 4/5

Willy's Wonderland. Review.

Nicolas Cage in a random Five Nights at Freddy's clone

Let’s open up this review with a hypothetical. You are a filmmaker. You managed to produce a fully funded debut feature with a bankable star. Caveat. The premise is entirely meme-worthy and could be seen by Internet culture as nothing more than a joke. What do you do? This critic imagines that at some point this went through the head of the creative team behind Willy’s Wonderland. This decidedly…

Willy’s Wonderland: Nicolas Cage in Five Nights at Freddy’s - Amazon Rental Review

Willy’s Wonderland: Nicolas Cage in Five Nights at Freddy’s - Amazon Rental Review Nicolas Cage apparently needed money and I am so glad for that. #WillysWonderland

Nicolas Cage apparently needed money and I am so glad for that. SUMMARY A drifter (Nicolas Cage) runs over a spike strip in the middle of the road in a remote Nevada town. He’s picked up by a local mechanic named Jed (Chris Warner), who tells him that he will only fix the car if he is given a large amount of cash up front. No other payment will be accepted. Unable to pay the man, the drifter…

Thoughts : Willy’s Wonderland (2021)

Nicolas Cage has built a career out of occasionally interspersing his unique characterizations in random films with a sort of inverse approach involving an unchained Cage as the figurehead of a story so off the wall that only Cage could carry the weight of it. That’s why it was no surprise that an immediate groundswell of buzz and anticipation occurred when Willy’s Wonderland was announced. To the average movie-goer, any opportunity to witness a Cage-rage (as one of my coworkers refers to the Cage approach) is a welcome one, and seeing him beat down human-sized android puppets sounds too good to miss out on. For those aware of Five Nights at Freddy’s, however, the film seemed like an attempt to steal the thunder from a film that will automatically have a built-in fanbase if (or more likely, when) the trigger is pulled on production and release. That being said, Hulu came to the rescue and picked up the streaming rights to Willy’s Wonderland, meaning I had no excuse for not seeing this fever dream of a flick.

youtube

What we are looking at is a unique two-fisted cash grab attempt, and luckily, each fist contains the main elements worth talking about in this film, as honestly, there is not much going on here. We’ll start with the elephant in the room before diving into the obvious realm : this is basically the Wish version of a Five Nights at Freddy’s film, with a healthy dose of R.L. Stine-inspired lore building tossed in to give the film a sense of purpose or narrative thrust. First and foremost, there is BARELY a narrative arc to this film, and many of the story beats feel tacked on purely for the need of having the parts of the story that aren’t Willy’s-centered still feel like they’re moving forward. With Five Nights at Freddy’s already being a dark take on the real-life Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese’s establishments that dot the nation, taking it one step deeper with Willy’s Wonderland gives the film’s creators a false sense of agency in terms of the need for backstory. We are literally dropped into the proceedings with the barest bones of a flashback sequence before being asked to buy into no less that 4 sets of character stories, three of which consistently managing to bring the portions not involving the centerpiece of the show to a cringe-filled crawl.

Speaking of the centerpiece of the show, the other obvious attempt to bring curious viewers to Willy’s Wonderland is the lure of the most curious star in the Hollywood system : the enigma that is Nicolas Cage. It’s no secret that Cage has built up an extremely varied career of roles that fall all over the highlight and lowlight spectrum, many of which appear to be blatant cash grabs to keep him financially in a head above water situation (allegedly, as I am not his accountant). Willy’s Wonderland falls completely into the same realm for Cage of films like Jiu Jitsu, the upcoming The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Left Behind and so on, where the addition of Nicolas Cage is meant to lift the credibility of the content by association, and the anticipation of Cage going off the rails is implied by his connection. With this in mind, I’ve got to give it to Cage for continuously being able to cash in on properties like this while still managing to maintain some version of star power, as trying to imagine the likes of Sylvester Stallone, Brendan Frasier, Johnny Knoxville or some other ridiculously outlandish casting immediately makes this film way less interesting.

From the outside looking in, it appears that the budget was mainly allocated to two realms : the animatronics and however much it cost to include Nicolas Cage in the cast. The work on the animatronics is one of the few saving graces for Willy’s Wonderland, as each puppet has just enough of a unique look to have them stand out from one another. The movement of each figure matches their personality, and the gore effects for each animatronic kill really give those highlight moments additional impact. The visual look is otherwise a bit dry in terms of color timing... there is quite a bit of eye-catching fluorescents once we enter the Willy’s establishment, but everything in the film (including these sequences) are so washed out that it mutes the effect... my guess is that they were looking to capture a living and breathing comic book look, which is accomplished, but somewhat in odds with the tone of the film. A nod must be given to the score and soundtrack creators for attempting to create a small bank of original jingles and in-world diegetic music rather than going for stock tunes.

Giving Nicolas Cage top billing is an interesting choice... he gives you a textbook Cage performance full of odd choices, intense but hilarious stares and overconfident physicality, all without uttering one word (to my recollection). Beth Grant gives her down-home, over the top best as a literal plug-in character meant to explain the existence of Liv Hawthorne (who we will get to). David Sheftell, Ric Reitz and Chris Warner all bring in some much needed levity in the form of outrageous caricatures of standard horror character tropes. Unfortunately, the thing that really drags the film down is the inclusion of the teenagers in the story : Emily Tosta is given very little purpose as Liv Hawthorne, as her character could have literally been one of what is implied to be scores of kids sacrificed to Willy’s Wonderland, while her counterparts (Kai Kadlec, Caylee Cowan, Christian Del Grosso, Jonathan Mercedes and Terayle Hill) are, ironically, nothing but sacrificial lambs, both symbolically in terms of the narrative and literally in terms of being characters. Jiri Staneck, Jessica Graves, Taylor Towery, B.J. Guyer, Chris Schmidt Jr., Billy Bussey, Christopher Bradley and Duke Jackson must all be given props for their animatronic performances.

Willy’s Wonderland may almost certainly go down as the most singularly unique and interesting viewing experience of the year, short of someone like Charlie Kaufman releasing a new film. I don’t ever see myself returning to this film in a capacity outside of sharing it with friends or watching it “impaired” (if you catch my drift), but don’t let my bit of a beating that I gave the film fool you... this isn’t a bad movie... I’d say it’s an unnecessary guilty pleasure, if nothing else.

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT (2020)

Starring Cristina Rambaldi, Neyssan Falah, Mattia Minasi, Anne Broche, Karen Obilom, Giusy Frallonard, Pietro Genuard, Julia Bailey, Areg Barsegian, David Sheftell, Harrison Bacon, Cliff Rettalick, Andy Romanoff, Alessandro Giulliano, Helen Mahfar, Oliver Gruber, Alessandra Nitti and the voice of Anne-Laure Jardry.

Screenplay by Svetlana Cvetko and David Scott Smith.

Directed by Svetlana Cvetko.

Distributed by Level Forward. 95 minutes. Not Rated.

It is not easy to make a movie that feels completely like a foreign film which is mostly set in Los Angeles (with brief side jaunts to Joshua Tree, Italy and Paris). Yet Show Me What You Got totally feels like a foreign film – and I mean that mostly in a good way.

It may have to do with the fact that the narration by an unseen woman (we never learn exactly what her connection is to the story until the very end) is done in French with subtitles. (In fact, the film’s dialogue regularly bops back and forth between English, French, Italian and Farsi.) Also, the movie is filmed in moody black and white (except for one segment which briefly explodes with color). Maybe it just has to do with the fact that Show Me What You Got is essentially about a ménage à trois.

Whatever the reason, Show Me What You Got mixes the commonplace with the artistic, and has very relaxed – shall we say – viewpoints on sex and love.

It is the story of three artsy bohemian people, mostly scraping by in Los Angeles.

The only one that has any money… well his dad’s money… is Marcello (Mattia Minasi). (Strange coincidence? Marcello’s last name is the same as the actor playing him.) He is the son of a huge Italian TV star and is supposed to be taking meetings to set up work for his dad in Hollywood, but Marcello is a party boy and quickly gets bored of that.

Nassim (Neyssan Falahi) is a French-Iranian immigrant who has moved to Los Angeles to become an actor, with very little luck. He has been supplementing his income as a personal trainer. However, even with that slight side income he is essentially homeless – crashing on different friends’ couches. His family has been pressuring him to come home to Iran. Literally, he has a plane ticket sent by his dad (his mom lives in Paris) to fly home the day that he meets Marcello, who is slightly melting down on the Malibu pier.

They start talking and Nassim tells him about his personal training. Marcello, who is impulsive, offers to hire him right then and there. Nassim, who is less spontaneous, agrees to it, never mentioning that it would mean him missing the plane home.

While training the next day, they go into a coffee shop to get ice and are served by Cristina (Cristina Rambaldi) both of the guys are attracted to her and show up at her work when she gets off. She decides to take that as charming and not stalkery and invites them to come to an art show with her. It turns out she is a conceptual artist and photographer who just works as a waiter to make money. (A variation of that statement can be made about lots of people in Los Angeles.) And like Nassim, she is homeless, sleeping at an all-night spa.

All of their meetings seemed a little random, and I’m not 100% sure I buy how quickly they all bonded, but these things happen, so I’ll give the film the benefit of the doubt. They start all hanging out together, becoming friends, then having it become more intimate. Marcello rents a cottage for all three to live in and the group lives in a sweet bubble of love and lust before the real world starts to intrude.

The early days lead to a charming and light triad relationship, which is often beautiful, sometimes very funny, and occasionally just a tiny bit pretentious. Still, as said before, it has the feel of a foreign film and it is eminently watchable.

However, sometimes the film goes too far in its artiness. The climax of one of the major characters’ story comes due to a random twist of fate. It is merely a sad coincidence, which is not even shown on screen. This feels like a bit of a storytelling cheat, unnecessarily provocative, particularly since the character had seemed to have reached an epiphany already before this.

Also, sometimes storylines are just dropped, like when Marcello’s parents tire of Marcello’s party boy lifestyle and the fact that he is not taking the meetings he was supposed to in California, so they decide to cut him off monetarily. The next time they speak, the parents fly Marcello – and his two friends – to Italy. The fact that he was cut off by these same parents, even the idea that they may have ever been miffed with him, is never mentioned.

However, Show Me What You Got, does indeed show what it’s got; fearlessly, unabashedly, sometimes even a bit brazenly (I’m saying that as a good thing). The three characters (and the actors that play them) connect in a way that we’re willing to overlook slight flaws in the storytelling. Even if this relationship is unconventional, you can see why it would be attractive to all three. As an audience, it can be seductive to be a part of their world, before the real world intrudes on us, as well.
