One for the critics

Rating: 2/10 (1 January 2015)

This film is boring and pretentious. I went to see this with pretty high hopes of seeing a dark comedy about a washed up actor in desperate times etc. However, this film really went nowhere. It was just pointless scene after scene with irritating jazz drum beats almost constantly - really playing into the arms of film buffs. I like all of the actors in it and they did well considering they were acting in a film with no real plot. Big disappointment and a waste of good talent. The thing is that I have absolutely loved some other films by this director (Amores Perros, 21 Grams both brilliant) so its really a shame. Yes this is different and experimental film-making, but its also pointless and boring to watch, so don't bother, trust me!
