Such a wast of time to see these empty personalities, 21 October 2004
5/10
Author: esqia from German in Portugal

The film is just as boring as the protagonists!

Probably that's meant to be... but who wants to see just how boring the human being can be?

Waste your time a better way!

The Director and main actress is Barbara Loden which means that she probably wanted to make the movie just the way it is. I really wonder what she thinks is fascinating about the life of somebody who is unable to decide the most basic things. Time is just passing by and things happen without any influence of the characters. When I write this here it almost seems philosophical but in the movie it's just not!

Again don't go there if you can help it!
