Annoying.

Rating: 3/10 (24 May 2015)

I really wanted to like this film but I personally found it incredibly annoying and pretentious. None of the characters were particularly relatable or likable in my opinion and the dialogue just felt forced throughout and not up to par for such a superb ensemble cast. The relentless jazz drum soundtrack was simply off-putting and distracting in my opinion, and while the camera work is impressive the narrative didn't have the same momentum. I walked out near the end as I couldn't take it anymore. I'd love to see what other people see in this, but I feel mislead by the reviews and don't agree at all with critics praising this film ad-nauseam. Great cast and interesting visuals wasted on overwritten dialogue, unrealistic characters and a dull narrative, and I know my opinion isn't the popular one but I wish I hadn't wasted my time watching this.
