Artistic ...crud

Rating: 2/10 (18 August 2006)

Wow.
I just forced myself to watch this, hoping there was some sort of redeeming factor at the end. I was mistaken.
For those that are very into 'The Arts', this is probably what you want, and I would recommend it.
For Joe Average...this movie will bore you to tears, with photography that has no sense of purpose (if I have to look upwards at another set of trees for an extended shot...), a soundtrack that would put my grandmother to sleep, and a plot that meanders all over the place, without seemingly any rhyme or reason. More than once I thought this film was intended for the 'TV movie of the Week' because of pauses that seemed to have no purpose. Supposedly this movie is about Pocahontas, but if you expect a script like the Disney version, you will be sorely mistaken.
Not that I blame the writers/orchestra/actors/others for any of this. It is the director and the producer's fault, I know this. They decided to make a movie with Artistic Value, which has no value to anyone else.
