Film Review – Chariot

“Chariot” is a brain-bleeder from writer/director Adam Sigal. It plays like a sci-fi novel and probably should’ve been one, looking to confuse and beguile viewers with its sustained oddity, exploring one man’s awareness of unreality while dealing with personal issues and meeting bewildering people in his new apartment building. There’s a clear voyage into the unknown with this material, as Sigal enjoys introducing unexplained visuals and personalities, giving the audience about 75 minutes of disorientation before the answers start coming, and it’s debatable if they ever do. “Chariot” has many issues, the primary one being a lack of a clear invitation from Sigal to join the lead character on his odyssey into the unknown, keeping participation at arm’s length as he organizes a carnival of weirdness only for himself.
