Strong performances and good actors don't always make a film

Rating: 5/10 (20 January 2015)

Not wanting to give anything away, I was disappointed with this film, some may find it clever, surreal, compelling etc. I just found it dull and despite great performances, notably from Michael Keaton, it was simply not enjoyable. I get the idea, the camera-work is original and clever, it makes you feel a combination of being next to~ the character, and being the character, but being clever does not mean a film is enjoyable. If that means I have "missed the point", "don't understand" etc. then so be it. My advice is, if you want to enjoy great acting, and a plot line, then watch "There will be blood", now that was enjoyable.
