In an attempt to have fun and spend a very nice and amazing time together, a group of teenagers friends, make an amazing party full of dancing, drinking, and playing, till strange things begin to take place that turns upside down everything and their entire life, as they begin to struggle against survival, in such hard times.
Director Dennis Iliadis doesn't overdwell on the existentialism of the concept; he lets emotional beats strobe against the WTF experience of the temporal doubles, peppering the action with distinct images and events to make the repetition stand out.
It ambitiously parodies and mourns the implications of the one coherent message that mass media manages to convey to all of its consumers in all its endlessly proliferating, ever-shifting permutations.
Part Project X, part existential sci-fi head-scratcher with echoes of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Dennis Iliadis' +1 is a unique and endlessly entertaining addition to the teen comedy genre
This bizarre attempt to mix elements of a teen sex comedy with a supernatural thriller really doesn't succeed at either one, despite some amusing moments.
One of those movies whose only chance of enduring is based on the word of mouth of those who have seen it, "+1" is a freaky jaunt through time travel that is well worth taking.
Imagine Project X taking place in the world of Another Earth and you get +1. While there are interesting aspects within the film's sci-fi elements, it seems repressed thanks to so much emphasis being put on raunchy college behavior.
