Grade: B-
“Rubber” is an artsy film about a sentient, bloodthirsty tire, and it’s actually fairly good, though this bizarre take on the pointlessness of film isn’t for everyone. The story is absurd and the characters readily admit to it, but director Quentin Dupieux somehow manages to keep the audience’s attention on a tire for 80-plus minutes. The film may not be a box office hit, but if you’re looking for a quirky movie that makes you think, “Rubber” definitely satisfies. It’s weird, it’s creepy, it’s an indie movie done right.
