Alpha Hippie

About This Movie

So, 'Alpha Hippie' – it's this quirky little comedy that digs into the lives of these new age types living in Topanga Canyon. You've got Sage, this over-the-top weed farmer who’s just dripping with that self-absorbed vibe. The whole commune thing is fascinating, especially how it all fractures when he thinks Max, his best friend, is out to steal his kale chips recipe. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it captures that laid-back, almost chaotic spirit of communal living. The performances have this raw, almost improvisational feel, which adds authenticity. And the practical effects, especially during their goofy wellness rituals, are a nice touch that keeps it grounded amidst the absurdity.
