Did I miss something?

Rating: 3/10 (22 March 2008)

I have no clue on earth how this movie won ANY awards, or how its rating is so high. It boggles my mind how so many people can think it was a "brilliant masterpiece." It makes me think that everybody has been waiting for a boring, waste of time film for a long long time now.
I had to check it out because of all of the good things I have heard about it, even though I wasn't too sure what the plot of the movie was. About half way through, I found myself trying to pick out points to like, so I can maybe relate, but I failed. I was watching with a friend, so I wanted to act interested so I wasn't in the minority of people who didn't think it was "great." As it turns out, he looks at me and says, "Is this movie going anywhere?"
Bottom line, I found it a waste of time, and it was complete and absolute boredom.
