Quirky

Rating: 4/10 (3 December 2006)

I thought the movie very slow going, tedious, and illogical but found the ending to be somewhat redemptive. I would have rated the film as a 2 or 3 without the final 5 minutes. The premise I thought was a little silly and artificial although I enjoy fantasy or allegory in general.
Also, this had to be one of the strangest set design philosophies I have ever seen in a film. Whether residential, commercial, or institutional settings were portrayed, there was no carpeting and stark, bare, minimalist sets lacking furnishings to a bizarre degree. It looked like a theatre set or Ingmar Bergman set not a contemporary comedy film set.
