doesn't live up to the hype

Rating: 3/10 (3 March 2012)

Before watching this film I was told it was the best film of 2011, so I entered into it with understandably high expectations. Unfortunately the movie failed to deliver on any front. It took over 40 minutes for any semblance of a story to form, and even then the emotional depth of the characters was tenuous to say the least. The main character is almost impossible to identify with considering for the entire film he says perhaps 100 words, and we get no back-story to determine why acts the way he does. All in all, a thoroughly uninteresting film, with an overly intensive soundtrack, that clashed with the drab and tediously slow pace of this movie
