"can't you see the Rabbit in front of your eyes?"

Rating: Null/10 (12 April 2002)

i can't quite understand how someone could see this film, and not get quite a buz. there's a lot to get. i don't agree that there's nothing behind the plot - or that it doesn't hold ground to its own ideas. it belongs to that area of 'gilbert grape' and 'welcome to the dollhouse' cinema. sure there's always more ambiance to feel, but i can't help think that most of what r. kelly wanted to convey to the world got said. or at least eluded to. there's something about the gen-x's that's being birthed in cinema and here's a good example of that birth. anyone see 'series 7' ? Donnie Darko's social commentary is more subtle, but just as right on. between the choice of two extremes, art lies somewhere in the middle. and that's about as much hope as any one can ask for.
