Most overrated film of the year (not even close)

Rating: 3/10 (4 February 2015)

I've watched almost every movie nominated for awards this year, as well as a few of the big Blockbusters. I was looking forward to this, such great critic reviews, and I can't recall any movie rated 8 or higher in IMDb I didn't enjoy.. until now. This movie tries entirely too hard to really stress the art of acting, and thought the actors are great (only reason for the 3 stars), the plot and script are just awful. I was checking my watch wondering how much time was left on the movie, and when it was supposed to become amazing.. it never did, it never really became watchable.
Perhaps critics and actors love this movie because they relate to it, or look past the script and at the talent of the actors on screen, but as a normal viewer this was a waste of two hours I will never get back. Also without spoiling anything, yes I understand the meaning, the concept, and how everything ties in.. it isn't that deep. I do recommend this though when it comes out on Netflix and you're trying to watch something to help you fall asleep out of boredom.
