Wetlands (2014)

Wetlands (Feuchtgebiete)
Director: David Wnendt
Starring: Carla Juri, Christoph Letkowski
My Rating: Liked It

If you are squeamish at any kind of body fluid or if you are shy about the grosser parts of the human anatomy, Wetlands is not the movie for you. The leading lady, Carla Juri, really shines and embraces her character's strange, goofy, and nasty sensibilities. The story follows an 18 year old girl, who definitely has a couple of screws loose, as she goes to the hospital for an anal fissure. Throughout her visit the movie cuts to scenes of her adventures, her childhood, and her divorced parents.

Wetlands is a very fun and entertaining movie. The gross-out shock value segments (all 100 of them) are presented in such a playful manner that they tend to be more funny than gross, with a few exceptions, of course.

Wetlands is vibrant, upbeat, weird, gross, perverse, funny, and a bunch of fun to watch.
