Probably not for everyone, 27 September 2004

But those who can connect with the director at some level will really like this film. It is not surprising to see such difference in the comments left behind about this film. I guess it is one of those that you either love or hate. I for one, loved it. It has "some what" unique camera work that goes well with the story and it makes interesting use of jump cuts in its editing. Most of the actors are very comfortable in their roles, especially Stephen Dorff. If you are familiar with the circumstances behind the making of this film, you will appreciate it even more. Some comments criticized the "smoking cat scene". People, it was only his imagination! And if you had understood the film you would know why that scene is there. This film is better then good but not great and it may come of as being a little pertinacious. Finally, the tagline summarizes it really well, 'The hardest thing to do in life is direct your own'.
