A 2 hour ordeal - movie torture

Rating: 1/10 (18 September 2017)

First off, this felt (at least) 3 hours long, but was only 2 hours, to my great surprise.
Ugh. Where do I begin. My friend dragged me to see this, I warned him ahead of time that it was directed by an artsy type director. We had seen another truly awful movie by this same director many years ago - Pi.
This movie is one of the worst movies of the decade, if not the century. It's painful to see how self-important, pretentious and eager this movie tries to be, as if its some sort of artistic film. It fails totally.
Jennifer Lawrence - what was she thinking? Worst career move in recent history. I just hope this movie doesn't end her career - yes, it is THAT bad. I really liked her acting and performance in the Hunger Games movies, but here, even her star power can't even barely make a dent in the utter awfulness of this film.
I can only say that watching this movie was an ordeal, and I'm shocked more people didn't leave the screening earlier, but like me and my friend, most stayed and watched it all the way until the bitter end, waiting for a miracle that it might get better - it never did.
