Confusing story line and erratic scene transitions

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2010)

While the hypothesis of this film is a good one to speculate about, the implementation of the story in this film generates confusion and disappointment in viewers. Various scenes jump the protagonist from one location to another with any real motivation and poor, unrealistic transition. To lay the jumble of feelings and memories presented by the characters as simply mental illness is also inconsistent with realism. Finally, no real satisfaction comes from the story ending, not that it had to be happy, but at least worthy of the buildup generated by the story line. A better treatment of this material would contain more background of the protagonist as the story winds down to its conclusion. The invention of non-existent characters to supplement the story line should be avoided in favor of better documented understanding from more objective sources such as newspaper reports or discussions by characters clearly illustrated as being outside observers.
