You know which part I mean if you've seen the film. Very cool visual touch in that scene with Toby looking on.
Fighting the frizzies, at 11.

I felt that was one of the low points of this absolutely terrible movie. Like some crappy drug-induced hallucination scene from a crappy movie actually made in the 70s.

If this was a music video it would have been cool. But it's a movie and whilst cool maybe it felt thrown in like a cool idea and didn't mean anything except that it looked cool. Cool. Shallow.

I enjoyed that scene, too. It was a nice metaphor for what was happening and an artful payoff for that scene at the start of the film when we first meet Toby.

Wow! I totally missed your comment as I was closing the tab in my browser. Toby says he can see the future through his kaleidoscope. That scene maybe, just maybe while also showing what was happening right in front of Toby's eyes, shows what will happen. It's a warning to not presume that the building will become more peaceful and organized just because women have assumed power.

Great film, this shot by it self would have been reason enough to see the film. Spent quit some time on this shot in my review including comparison clips:

That sequence was very well done.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
