An average movie

Basically, it is one of those movies that I really wanted to love but, somehow, it didn’t really happen. Indeed, I was really impressed by Solondz previous work, ‘Storytelling’ and above all ‘Happiness’ so I was rather anxious to see this one as well. Eventually, even though I had some rather high expectations, I was actually rather disappointed by the whole thing. I mean, it wasn’t a bad at all, it was definitely an intriguing and bold feature with a rather original concept and probably his most ambitious project so far (apparently, the guy spent his entire life's saving on making this movie because no studios would back it) but, to be honest, I wasn’t really convinced by the whole thing I’m afraid. Eventually, I even came to the conclusion that the fact that some different actors portrayed the same character was not really amazing but it seemed to be more a trick to impress the audience than anything else. At the end of the day, this intriguing gimmick didn’t become than a gimmick, at least, that’s my opinion. Still, to conclude, even though it was a missed experiment, it remains an interesting flick and I think it is still worth a look especially if you're interested in Solondz’ work.
