    Couldn't Follow It
    This movie was very hard to follow. The way it is put together lacks structure and continuity. It is often hard to tell what is going on and why, especially when the scenes change. There's no narration or sense of coherence tying the story together. One group is supposed to be jewish and one italian, but it is confusing as to who is who. And there is no sense of who the main character is supposed to be, or character development for any of them, which leaves you not only not feeling like you know who any of the characters are, but not caring about them. The story telling is just completely off and lacking. After less than 40 minutes I didn't see the point in continuing to watch it.
