Who, Me? Is a weird little artifact worth your time

Is it worth the watch?

If you like movies that feel like they were filmed in an afternoon on a studio backlot, maybe. It’s perfect for people who enjoy that jittery, 1930s screwball energy where everyone is shouting. If you need a cohesive plot or characters that act like actual human beings, you’re going to hate this. Stay far away if you have zero patience for films that are essentially just a series of rooms and corridors.

Honestly, the whole thing feels like a fever dream. The pacing is just wild. There is no middle ground here; it’s either people running in circles or standing still while someone yells a line of dialogue that nobody would ever actually say.

I found myself staring at the background extras more than the leads. There’s one guy in a coat who clearly forgot what he was doing in the scene. He just kind of wanders toward a door, stops, looks at the camera for a split second, and then shuffles off-screen. It’s glorious.

It reminds me a bit of the frantic energy in The Stampede, though without the horses. It’s all just people bumping into each other. It’s a very specific kind of chaos.

The dialogue is… well, it’s certainly words being spoken in a sequence. At one point, the lead character gives a speech that lasts about three minutes too long. You can literally see the other actors trying to figure out where they are supposed to be standing. It’s the kind of clunky brilliance you only get in these older, bottom-of-the-barrel studio productions.

Some random notes:

• The lighting is either blindingly bright or pitch black. No in-between.
• The sound mixing is a total disaster, which honestly makes it more fun.
• I’m pretty sure I saw the same prop telephone three times in different rooms.
• The ending just happens. Like, the movie realizes it hit the runtime limit and decides to just stop.

It’s not a masterpiece. It’s barely a coherent film. But it’s got this weird, twitchy heart to it. Sometimes that’s enough to keep me awake through the second act. Don't go in expecting anything profound. Just watch the mess unfold. 🎞️
