A mixed bag . . .

Rating: 5/10 (18 July 1999)

Not all is clear . . . but one thing's for sure -- Stanley loves Nicole's body. In fact, perhaps a hour of going over her body with the lens . . . from all angles . . . would have made a better picture (at least for the guys in the audience). What we got, was not too far removed from that. I think this movie ran way too long. Not sure what the point was of having a child in the picture, except to demo how Tom has almost zero relationship with her. Tom, as a doctor, kinda had a false ring to it . . . Some of the mood and imagery was interesting, and kinda "artsy," however, it did not seem to fully develop. To paraphrase Garcia, "What a long, strange trip" this was. Did I enjoy it? Sorta. Does it compare with his best work? No. My suggestion: wait for the video.
