Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Memorable, crazy movie

How sad is this?

Best movie of this year hands down!

This is what a great script + acting + visual is. Simple yet sophisticated. Inviting both attention and anticipation. Or should I put it simply: this is what a film is!

Total waste of my time. Kept waiting for something (anything!!) to happen. It just meanders along leaving plot holes, unexplained events, and unresolved issues in its wake. Starts nowhere, does nothing, ends nowhere.The high ratings of other reviewers must have been written by the artsy/fartsy intellectual types who swoon in rapturous joy as they ascribe significance to pretentiousness.

It raises some interesting issues: divorce, teens future, infidelity, rape, pregnancy, harassment neighborhood, up to foniatric problems... The problem is that not solves nothing.Aside from the above, the entire film takes place in a permanent whisper, without change of intonation of none of the characters.It is not badly acted, is not misdirected, but is not going anywhere.

This must be one of the slowest, pointless and most disappointing movies I have ever seen. The creator probably had an idea for a story but stopped right there. If this was a 10 min 2nd year project in film school, it might have passed, but at 2:08 (that's 2 HOURS and 8 min!) its just a very poor excuse for the "quality foreign film" label. Every scene is dragged to at least 10 times what should have been its length. The questions the film is meant to deal with - parenting, Ideals, morals, state vs. citizen - are lost in vector-less hovering of each and every character. I would gladly have written a spoiler but I can think of no way to spoil this any further.
