Daniel Radcliffe's weirdest post-Harry Potter movie is now streaming

Daniel Radcliffe has repeatedly chosen odd, provocative roles since Harry Potter. One of the strangest, Swiss Army Man, is currently available to stream for free with ads on Pluto TV. The film arrived at Sundance in 2016 from directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

Paul Dano plays Hank, a man stranded in the wilderness, and Radcliffe is Manny, a corpse that proves unexpectedly useful: supplying fresh water, chopping wood, firing objects and—most memorably—propelling a grown man across the ocean with flatulence. Beneath its gag-heavy surface—farts, sexual jokes, vomiting and other bodily-function humor—the Daniels shaped an earnest story about loneliness, romantic obsession and a mental health crisis, with Dano and Radcliffe playing the whole thing straight.

The premiere famously split the audience: some walked out early, while others laughed through the film. Swiss Army Man can feel messy and repetitive, and its human-voiced soundtrack won't land for everyone, but Radcliffe throws himself into the role with physical commitment.
