Not impressed

Rating: 7/10 (7 February 2004)

How is it getting these high ratings??? Out of all the films I have seen lately....this film is among those that have impressed me the least. Yes, it does present a bleak picture of life, yes the actors gave a good depiction of disturbed, but for what? This movie lacked any real meaning.....and that was frankly annoying. To be honest with you, the performances, which have been very well received, perhaps because of the general pointlessness of the film, did nothing for me. How this movie got nominated for Best Picture and In America did not lets you know how flawed the Oscars can be at really honoring inspired works.
