Leave your thoughts about Aaaaaaaah!.
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsAaaaaaaah! is [Steve Oram's] debut feature film as writer and director, a transgressive situationist comedy which is also one of the great British films of the new millennium. Explaining why is not going to be easy. |
| The ListEmma SimmondsOram's first-feature proves consistently intriguing and reliably amusing. The performers are beyond game, with the cream-of-the-British-comedy-crop cast investing proceedings with energy, conviction and variety. |
| The Ooh TrayEd WhitfieldA mesmerising parallel world in which all intellectual pretence and identity politics has been stripped out. In this way the movie reflects our ridiculous society back to us, sans the bulls**t. |
| VarietyCatherine BraySteve Oram's deeply British feature debut is the kind of mesmerizing cult oddity whose fan base will be limited but passionate. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeIt's of great commendation to Oram that he's created something so unorthodox and avant-garde amidst a cinematic landscape palpably devoid of originality. |
| The Blue LensesAlexandra Heller-NicholasAAAAAAAAH! is ultimately a poignant examination of the contemporary urban rituals that surround class, gender, identity and violence. |
| Projected FiguresAnton Bitelthis primal scream of a movie, equally experimental and outrageous, will leave you open-mouthed and no less speechless than its pithecoid personnel (who also like to watch dumb shit on their screens). |
| User ReviewKaty DA brilliant and highly original film which explores the hidden ape found within us all. Beautiful, funny and shocking at times - expert storytelling and an amazing cast, including some excellent cameo performances. Go and see this film if you can - it's a genius piece of work and wonderfully leftfield in its approach. |
| User ReviewZACHO DVIFF Review: No shame at all in saying that"AAAAAAAAH!" was easily one of the best films of VIFF 2015. It's absolutely ridiculous and absurd, yet, immensely entertaining, jaw dropping, and hilarious from minute 1 to minute 79. All the characters have been reduced to ape like behaviour, so they all speak in grunt instead of clear dialogue. Despite this, there is a story between all the characters and tons of social commentary to boot. For absurdists and fans of random humour and shock, "AAAAAAAAH!" is your saving grace. As Monty Python used to put it: "And now for something completely different". |
| User ReviewJenna II can't knock this movie- it's the movie every 6 year old boy wanted to grow up to make except Steve Oram grew up and made it. And it's not bad for a first feature length film at all. Some genuine laugh out loud moments-the television shows and the trash can scene being my favs- and snappy enough pacing that at least you know the next scene is just around the corner. Considering there's no dialogue, that's a fairly impressive feat. Some bizarre plot choices and bland elementary-school-boy humor keep this at a strictly enjoyable indie movie/cult movie level, but that's not to say its not one of the better choices in its league. If you think about it, aren't most human dramas just about power plays and masturbation? Aaaaaaaah! just cuts the shit and, with a wink and a nod, gets right to it. |
