About Swiss Army Man
A wholly original, enormously entertaining, and deeply heartfelt look at what it means to be human, Swiss Army Man is the feature film debut of acclaimed music-video-turned-film directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (Everything Everywhere All at Once). Bursting with limitless creativity in both form and content, Swiss Army Man goes from the absurd to the emotional to the whimsical to the profound and back again. Hank (Paul Dano) is stranded on a deserted island, having given up all hope of ever making it home again. But one day everything changes when a corpse named Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) washes up on shore; the two become fast friends, and ultimately go on an epic adventure that will bring Hank back to the woman of his dreams.

"Impossible to categorize, this stunningly original mix of the macabre and the magical combines comedy, tragedy, fantasy and love story into an utterly singular package that’s beholden to no rules but its own." — Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
"The Daniels have made a film that's at once a labor of love and a work of sheer arrogant nerve, one that is as likely to be described as a classic, an ambitious misfire, and one of the worst films ever made by any three people who see it together. How many movies can you say that about?" — Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
"The polarizing Swiss Army Man kills us with weirdness. This film lets its WTF freak flag fly and encourages you to do the same." — Don Shanahan, Every Movie Has a Lesson
