One big mess

Rating: 5/10 (1 July 2010)

As someone else has commented I now realise how little credibility IMDb scores really have.
Having endured the excruciatingly tedious mess of this film I also wonder what kind of critical faculties people bring to watching films. While I know that we the general public are dubious in our ability to separate good from bad , one would expect the critics to put us straight. When the lead "adult" shows less emotional maturity than his 11 year old sister you know you are in trouble. The film irritatingly flips through the scenes of a relationship with an attending cast one would happily avoid any contact with.
The bewildering array of sub-themes, introduced and just as quickly dropped, the 1960s, art house films, architecture etc. just add to the confusion of the hotchpotch plot.
As a film I would struggle to give it 5, as an experience it is really one I wish I had avoided. Extremely disappointing.
