The third act dissolves back into emo indulgence. But before then, you may just have found yourself briefly watching in wonderment, only disturbed by the nagging feeling that this is all very wrong.

Two fine actors giving full-blooded performances can't prevent Swiss Army Man from seeming pretentious and self-indulgent.

Incredible and not in a good way.

Swiss Army Man may be one long elevated fart joke but it’s also the best fart joke ever told; the outlandish marriage of brass intellectualism and boorish physical comedy.
