Rating: 2/10
saw this oddly paced film last night at a half empty theater preview.
while the acting is good, the story and characters are strangely off.
the pacing and cadence were oddly theatrical and felt unnatural. The
whole film was peculiarly off-kilter. 3/4 or more was background
development, never quite explaining the characters, effectively
shooting itself in the foot. there is an weird, inexplicable sex scene.
talking about the film, 3 indie filmmakers- none of us could figure out
exactly what was the point, where it went off, why anyone would release
this film. seemed like a film school project, not ready for prime time.
had no expectations, but still left disappointed and confused.
