I mean, what can I say? After all the good reviews I'd heard over the summer about this film, Id been anxiously awaiting to see it. Like one reviewer said, the first 1/3 of the movie is really the only interesting section. The rest of it feels more like an unfinished project made by a sophomore at art school and it spends way too much time setting up plot and never fully resolving any of it. I don't mind that the plot is not nicely wrapped up and I shouldn't feel as though Im too low-brow to have a preference against that sort of thing. The problem with the film, from an objective point of view, is that the ride leading up to where you can competently piece together whats going on is not at all enjoyable. You're just sort of sitting there watching what feels like a giant series of non-events. I was pretty disappointed.
