It is only somewhat hokey. I love a bad/earnest low-budget movie. I think they are often much more revealing about the nature of culture, cinema and art than -- to pick a single counterpoint -- really anything in the MCU except Age of Ultron [0]. There were plenty of things in that to like. I watched it only recently, I'm glad they made it, and I hope the people who make it continue to reject the big bucks. [0] This is a hill I will die on. Almost everything in the MCU is pointless dross except James Spader as Ultron.
