Eye For Film >> Movies >> Drink Me (2005) Film Review
Alice would not approve.
Dave Moody (writer) and Alex Stevens (director) have used a prop from Lewis Carroll and not done a huge amount with it. A bottle is a bottle is a hangover. Finis.
A man (Reuben Philp) comes home to his sparsely furnished flat to discover a bottle on the floor with a big label on it that reads, "DRINK ME". He does. He goes to the fridge, which is filled with similar bottles with similar labels. The man obliges, before finally falling down in a heap. Next morning he feels like hell, is sick in the lav and finds more bottles in the fridge.
Is this a hallucination? Not weird enough. Is this an alcoholic trying to excuse himself by saying the bottles told him to do it? Perhaps. Is this a one-joke five-minute short that runs out of puff after three? You choose.
