Great moments do not a great film make

Rating: 2/10 (8 June 2012)

I have been seeing as many independent, foreign, artsy, low-budget movies as I can in the past two months. While I laughed and had some emotional twinges, the film as a whole just doesn't get there. Yes, I am not a huge fan of this style of filmmaking. Halfway through any masterful components just seemed to fall apart. Ideas became stretched, plots got thin and/or predictable, and a few far-fetched/just unbelievable scenes took this movie down the drain. I love the members of the cast - so many incredible actors. They all do a fantastic job. In the end, the movie left me empty. Perhaps the Emperor has no clothes!
