Daniel Radcliffe’s new movie “Swiss Army Man” is the controversial film among movie lovers. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday, it had received split reactions from its viewers. Some found the film disturbed and left without watching the end of it.

The negative reactions from the crowd are somewhat understandable by the fact that the film depicts a bizarre story about a man (played by Paul Dano) becoming friends with a corpse found on a beach. Mr. Radcliffe plays a role of a farting corpse instead of a wizard.

Although the premier was held at a film festival, and regarding its viewers are ready for the most bizarre stories which are not normally seen at cinemas in town, there were walk-outs throughout the movie. Some criticized the movie via their social network, describing the weird experience of having watched a man kissing a corpse which passes gas endlessly.

But there were also positive reactions from some. They found the black comedy hilarious, found the actors’ play great, and enjoyed a good joke.

Apparently, Mr. Radcliffe did the same. “The chance to play a dead guy in this context was too much fun to pass up,” He said in a Q&A session.
