Artistic for the sake of being artistic

Rating: 6/10 (22 February 2007)

SPOILERS AHEAD.
this film whilst brilliant shot and extremeley effective in suspense and cinematography is perhaps one of the most pointlessly convulted ever made.MD is a film with very little to say,it certainly messes with your head,some may find that quite enjoyable,others such as I, find this rather irritating.
I am all for films being unconventional and pushing barriers especially when it is done with poignancy and wisdom.Yet all too often in this film there is the sense that the movie is simply doing this to trick you for the sake of simply messing with my head.At very few points during this film did I feel entertained all feel real empathy with the characters,despite a brilliant performance from Naomi Watts.
Jokingly through the film I said,'at the end it will all just be a dream'..In a Dallas sort of way,how prophetic i was when with a 4/5 of the dream over with had a few scenes and montages of reality done the film finished.One was left thinking how this film could have played out,if it had all come together in a far more thoughtful and astonishing way.
Do not buy in to the talk of the unconventionality of this film because it leaves the film with no poignancy no moral messages to ponder,just annoying niggles and questions,a sense of disappointment and the feeling that you have wasted two hours of your life.
