Branded is an intellectual perspective-bender centered around a Russian man with a knack for marketing. It's the type of flick that can be watched multiple times for finding the subtle nuances. For those who like to *ahem* partake? I'd suggest giving this one a pass. Quite a number of the metaphors will escape you, and while it's not A Scanner Darkly nuts, it certainly will harsh your buzz. A few of the questions it raises aren't answered at the end, but after all: There are two types of people in this world. 1: Those that can extrapolate from incomplete data.

I don't normally review films but I feel compelled to defend Branded from the idiots criticising it. First off, if you gave up early and walked out on this movie, I see why your complaining. I'll admit, it starts out pretty slow and boring. But the 2nd half completely makes up for the 1st. It comes to an astonishing conclusion that wraps up the story nicely. There was barely any advertising for this movie but I guess that goes along with their anti-marketing message. Basically the message is that consumers are all mindless creatures obeying the corporate logos that are subliminally controling them. I recommend it for any fans of dark sci-fi or clever indie films. If you're a fan of movies like The Avengers, The Dark Knight, or The Hunger Games, you might as well skip Branded. You're not going to understand the dark humor or appreciate the metaphors being used. Just keep following the herd to the next hollywood blockbuster and continue letting million-dollar corporations think for you.

Quirky but very bad movie. I give the filmmakers credit for doing something offbeat but little of the movie works, particularly in the second half, which is where nearly all of the scenes from the trailer come from. This was so bad I actually walked out before it ended.

Absolutely worthless movie. Backstory is incredibly long and boring and plot is weak. I know it's a commentary about today's consumer but it has absolutely no redeeming qualities.

This movie was horrible. I can't believe how bad this is. You will regret seeing this movie if you go. Save your money. I kept waiting for it to get better and it never did.
