Lack of good storyline.

Better Late Then Never

Best movie ever!

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Man, this film was brutal! As somebody else said, it was like a student film, and only a run-of-the-mill one at that. I agree that there are some elements that are impressive-- the atmosphere was well done, and the actress was quite good-- but overall, just a ponderous, navel-gazing, boring waste of time.Having said that, I must nevertheless admit that I have thought about this movie quite a bit since watching it. I think I have decided that the woman did in fact move in to an apartment that was filled with the previous tenant's stuff... and preceded to go crazy and kill herself by ingesting roach poison. It is of course a slow and painful death, in the throes of which she undergoes many strange and terrifying fantasies, dreams and hallucinations. She must have been "troubled" to begin with. Perhaps that she lives in someone else's space is emblematic of the woman's tortured and twisted sense of identity... she cannot believe, see or understand that she is the only one there, and is the one who's dying. Until the end, when she finally takes responsibility for her baggage...BTW, dig the wardrobe.

This movie is a weapon of mass destruction or at the very least, a fine torture device. I must say it was VERY intriguing at the beginning- there's a petite woman holed up in a run down top floor apartment that is hot as hell. We hear the steady whine of the various appliances and it is very quiet. The contents of the refrigerator are strewn on the floor- we wonder why- then we see she is inside the fridge curled up to cool down. And the rest of this movie is just like that- makes you curious as to why something is the way it is- and then you find out in a very underwhelming visual presentation.I liken the feelings this movie emotes to the feeling you get when you are coming down hard after a very long nite of partying, every part of your body is worn out and ready to fall apart but for some reason you are simply too tired to sleep. You haunt yourself in an ethereal existence of non-being as no real thought or action occurs- it's just you sitting there wishing you could sleep or wishing you had more energy and not knowing how to pursue either endeavor so you just sit there like a zombie hating life.That's this director in a nutshell- he had an idea but had no idea whatsoever how to pursue it so in true student art film cookie cutter method he does something stupid to make the audience not understand this film so he can feel like he is smart by confusing them. Baby, smart don't come from stupid- plain and simple. This movie is dumb, boring and torturous to attempt to bear. It will scar you and make you want that time of you life back. It fully sucks in every way conceivable. Have I made myself clear?

It's rare that I personally see films that boarder on experimental and narrative that actually work for me. "Sugar" is a definite exception to this rule. This film was interesting without being obvious and used devices, such as a mixture of B&W and color, to their full potential for once. I wouldn't dream of trying to go into what this film is about as it will likely be translated differently by everyone that sees it; that's part of it's charm. Hopefully this film will receive some sort of release, but don't expect to see it at the mega-plex near you any time soon. Samara Golden does an exceptional job in the lead role and stays compelling throughout even without dialog while appearing in almost every frame of the film. The craftsmanship is unbeatable and I consider this film a must see for anyone that that is really interested in the medium of film.

I went to this movie because it was the only one open on Saturday morning. It started with plenty of suspense and interest, but by three-fourths of the way through, when it seemed to come to an end several times, I groaned each time it didn't actually end. I stayed to the real end only because I thought it might pull all the bizarre pieces together. If the woman was supposed to be falling into psychosis, why did it start out the way she almost ended once: in the fridge? If Anthony was a previous tenant, why was his garbage still piled high, his phone still connected, and his answering machine on the table? Not even a crazy woman would move into a flat in such condition. Why was the stranger at the door? Who was breathing behind the grate, the body? What was the significance of the black and white versus color scenes? What did the woman scribble on the paper and scratch it out and why? Why did her teeth fall out? I was looking for the end of movie to answer just one question. Further, just because you can do weird affects. They had not significant affect. And the screeching soundtrack, while reminiscent of "Pyscho," gave me a headache. Alfred H. would not play the music to annoy. Maybe it's just me. I'd rather see a movie with a plot.
