Huge letdown

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2006)

Not everything was awful about the film; however, the sum of all the hard work and extraordinary talent was so flat and lifeless. I walked out of the theater wondering why I'd stayed to see all of it (and decided that I had because for all of the (deserved) awards it won, surely the story would get better. It didn't.) I know there are fine actors and actresses, photographers, musicians, etc., and this film did display their talent as individuals. When all was said, done, and viewed, unfortunately, the viewer was simply left with a void. I have to "like" the main characters to enjoy a film; there was so little to like in either of them.
