11.11

The first half hour of this movie was so convoluted, repetitious and boring that I almost shut it off. But I decided to keep watching, because I have watched slow sleeper movies before that turned out to be excellent (the Russian film Stalker being one of them). So I hung in there.

Well, it did get better, and then it didn't. It built up three life stories-- very repetitively... repetitively... repetitively-- showing the same scenes over and over, each time adding one more piece of the puzzle... until we get to the very end of the film and find the puzzle is missing the most important piece: a conclusion to the plot.

The ending is so senseless and pointless that it ruins any chance this show had of pulling itself out of the gutter. The constantly repetitive scenes were tedious, but the show had potential to work out in the end. But then in the end they just leave everything hanging with no resolution, no actual point made, fade to black.

I give it 2 stars because I reserve 1 star for the worst movies ever made, and this isn't quite that bad. Close though.
