Lullaby

This is a weird, racy little black comedy with supernatural elements and characters that are repulsive yet entertaining in various ways. It's a road trip story that moves very fast; not much time is wasted on involved backstory or character development. There's a cynical rather than sentimental approach to the premise, which certainly could have incited more empathy given the tragedies involved.

I see similarities between Lullaby and Fight Club. There's the antisocial/sociopathic characters, the social commentary, and the identity-related plot twists. With Fight Club, I was more engaged and involved with the narrator. The rebellion against consumer culture and living for a meaningless career, for instance, gave Fight Club meaning for me. Lullaby spends a lot of time on noise pollution, which is interesting but doesn't resonate with me quite as much.
