Tideland
I'm not a huge fan of messed up drug movies and this is one of those – through and through. However, Terry Gilliam gets on screen at the beginning and explains what he's attempted to do with the film, which I give him credit for. He wrote this movie from the perspective of a grade school aged girl, so her imagination is at the forefront of the weirdness of this movie. So when things get super weird, you remember, oh yeah, it's a little freaky girl whose parents are all tweaked out on meth. She cooks up their drugs and puts it into needles for them. It gets a little bizarre. I don't know that I would recommend this to a lot of people, but it's really not a BAD movie. It just gets progressively more bizarre as the movie continues.
