Mediocre movie with one large question nobody addresses

Rating: 3/10 (16 March 2013)

Are we supposed to believe the protagonist in this story has no sexual needs? This one issue makes the entire thing laughable. No masturbation alluded to? Total nonsense. His refusal to have sex with Kristen Stewart's character is ludicrous. Getting to the young man's motivation for taking off on his adventure, the story he learned about his parents is barely enough to trigger anything more than underachieving in school. The fact that he's a high achiever with knowledge of his parents' hypocrisy is not credible. Yes, the acting is excellent and so is the cinematography. But the script is a shambles. In his adult period, I believe, he kills a moose, and because he doesn't dress it fast enough maggots appear, ruining it. And so he gives up on shooting game. This is the same person who shot the rapids in a kayak without permission and a deathly fear of water? And where did he become a psychiatrist to solve the marital problems of the hippie couple in two minutes?
