The success of this film lies heavily on the shoulders of the cast. A handful of emotionally-charged scenes will keep you on your toes between binge-drinking party montages and wig heists. Surrounded by almost nonstop nonsense, there is a tragic story of a former child actor and his self-destructive behavior that is destroying his relationships with those closest to him. That will unfortunately limit the size of its audience, but for those who are still on board with this type of film, it’s going to deliver some laughs.Īpart from the humor though, there is actually a lot of heart in this film. If you are someone who is easily offended or just someone who doesn’t enjoy raunchy humor, this film may not be for you.
It is by no means a family film and is not advertised as such. That being said, this film certainly pushes the limits. Whether you’re into slapstick physical comedy, dry humor, or just over-the-top ridiculous situations, this film is certainly going to get a few good chuckles out of you. While there are some surprising elements to Hey, Viktor!, the film is first and foremost a comedy and it certainly delivers on that front. When his friends stage an intervention, Cody seizes the moment - and camera crew - to take one last shot at producing “Smoke Signals 2.” With backing from a psycho investor and in hot pursuit of Adam Beach’s wig to tie the film together, Lightning’s deliriously dysfunctional set becomes a mess of unresolved tension and self-destruction, leading to a long-overdue reckoning with the community that raised him.
Now grown up, former child actor Cody Lightning is deep in the bottle and down on his luck, basking in past glories via faded VHS tapes and endlessly rewriting zombie-priest scripts with creative partner Kate. It’s been 25 years since all eyes were on the Cree kid from Edmonton who made it big with a starring role in the indie hit Smoke Signals. One of those projects is hilarious, raunchy and surprisingly heartbreaking comedy Hey, Viktor!, The Tribeca Festival is underway in New York City, bringing an incredibly wide variety of projects to the big screen.
