Don't expect a masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2002)

As another reviewer noted, I don't understand why this movie has any special appeal to anyone who isn't a teenager. It's not a bad movie and I think I would have probably enjoyed it more if I wasn't expecting much more. There are indeed some questions asked concerning consumerism and petite bourgeoisie, but they never rise above a dissapointingly basic level. The infamous "twist" near the end is not as spectacular as advertised by other reviewers. Not really surrealistic, not really a protest movie, not really a psychological thriller, but something in-between that remains unacomplished. Good but not *that* good.
