It certainly isn\u2019t the finished article, although she does conjure some interesting visuals and \u2018floaty\u2019 sequences to give the whole thing a free-spirited, dream-like veneer. The best thing about the film is of course, Neil Young himself. Fans will be drawn to this because of him regardless of the content of the piece or whether it actually makes any sense. Much like other forays into musical film or TV, \u2018Magical Mystery Tour\u2019 springs to mind as it has the same loose hand on the storyline and camera work, the audience will gravitate to this because of the promise of the music, and with shots of Young and his mis-fit band playing and rehearsing new material. On that score it delivers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The premise of the story is that a band of futuristic cowboys search for technical treasures of the past to trade with women, every full moon, for food\u2026and love. Neil Young plays the \u2018Man in the Black Hat\u2019, a throwback to previous western characterisers, like Clint Eastwood\u2019s \u2018Man with no Name\u2019 or \u201cThe Preacher\u2019. Other fantastic names include: \u2018Particle Kid\u2019 and \u2018Jail Time\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018Paradox\u2019 is by no means a garbled mess, just a showcase for Neil Young to look mysterious and interesting, it\u2019s more than that. But does it live up to its billing? Does the storytelling engage you and carry you along to the sound of Young\u2019s lamenting vocals? That\u2019s the paradox. It promises so much but delivers little other than confusion, laced with moments of musical joy. Imagine the finest ingredients, the best recipes, but in the hands of a rookie chef. The best ingredients and recipe do not in themselves guarantee the best meal.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8216;Paradox&#8217; is written and directed by Daryl Hannah. &#8216;Paradox&#8217; features new music from Neil Young + Promise Of The Real. The cast includes Young, Lukas Nelson, Micah Nelson, Willie Nelson, Corey McCormick, Anthony LoGerfo, Tato Melgar, Charris Ford and Dulcie Clarkson Ford. The film is produced by Bernard Shakey and Elliott Rabinowitz, edited by Paul Snyder and photographed by Adam CK Vollick.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>&#8216;Paradox&#8217; launches March 23 on Netflix.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_54495\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KWdNLtl3n1s?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Paradox | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/KWdNLtl3n1s\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Paradox\u2019 &#8211; Great music, confusing story.<br \/>\n\u2018Many moons ago-in the future\u2019, should just about sum this film up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34093,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[10377,5200,12133,5202,10378],"tags":[13270,3839,792,13271,6595,77,13269,1008,2371,399],"class_list":["post-34090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-films","category-news","category-reviews-films","category-tv","tag-daryl-hannah","tag-exclusive","tag-film","tag-neil-young-promise-of-the-real","tag-netflix","tag-new-release","tag-paradox","tag-premiere","tag-television","tag-tv"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-8RQ","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":32909,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2018\/02\/the-cloverfield-paradox-less-of-a-bang-than-a-wimper-from-new-netflix-film\/","url_meta":{"origin":34090,"position":0},"title":"&#8216;The Cloverfield Paradox&#8217; &#8211; Less Of A Bang Than a Wimper From New Netflix Film","author":"Essentially Pop","date":"12\/02\/2018","format":false,"excerpt":"When you hear the word \u2018Cloverfield\u2019 your head is filled with the images of aliens invading earth and causing mayhem for us humans.
