Get me out of her head.
Visually, this movie is stunning. The performances are good, and it's a technical marvel.However, we spend far too much time in psychoanalysis of Joan. The director is trying to make it clear that Joan's motivations may not have been clear, even to herself, but should it take so long to drive that point home? GET ON WITH IT ALREADY.The humor in this film was oddly placed, and gave a surreal feeling. Whether that was intentional, I don't know - however it further served to detatch me from the subject.
