very pretentious movie

Rating: 3/10 (24 September 2011)

I'm extremely surprised this has gained the good reviews it has-so far. I wonder though how many are caught up in the hype? I watched it in an almost empty theatre in Florida, and some people walked out. One reviewer called it a 'slow burn' make that a really really slow burn. I'd call it a yawn. I lost count of the arty silent stares. No music, no script. Count how many lines the 'driver' has in the first 20 minutes. Even I could have learned them in a day. I was completely bored by it. Cheesy and pretentious, maybe some people find the 'art house' style attractive but its a big budget movie. A movie has to have some redeeming features, some ways of entertaining or standing out from the crowd. This movie will be more a 6 star in 2013, and not the 8.7 its got now. I don't recommend it unless there is a very good reason for wanting to waste 2 hours of your life.
