We went to see this movie based on critic reviews (who have led me astray before) and the cast. Maybe I'm just too low-brow or not introspective enough to understand this movie, but to me it was a waste of money and time. On the way home we decided that the main philosophy of the movie was that life sucks and then you die. Another reviewer used that same line and they were right.

I must be too dumb to get this one. I waited out all 123 painful minutes waiting for something, anything, to pull this movie into the realm of comprehension. This made me want to go back to college to study James Joyce again--for pain relief. I really think I must have missed something major in my life for this to be so completely unaccessible. Any clues out there? d

if you're into that. Personally, I loved it. It is wonderful to see a challenging piece of film-it was highly creative and although dark, also darkly funny. The cast was terrific and the acting brilliant. This is a serious piece of cinema, unlike anything I have seen in a very, very long time. It is also a stunningly beautiful work of art-I don't think I have ever seen a film in which I fell in love with some of the art within it, i.e. Adele's paintings, which one has to view with jeweler's glasses. They represent, to me, this remarkably creative work and how closely one can view it and how much there is to see.

Boring - tedious, depressing - vote it a thumbs down thnumbs down thumbs down - Do we really need movies like this??

Disturbing, beautiful, hilarious, ridiculous, heartbreaking. Loved it. Pretty depressing ultimately and maybe a little long, but an inspired bit of film making. Definitely worth seeing in the theater. Not just because cinematically it works so well on the big screen, but also there was something interesting/powerful about seeing this film in a room full of strangers. It's a hard film, with lots of questions, lots of sadness. It seems more and more rare that we experience films like this together, publicly, so I recommend it for this reason too.
