Tough to like

The story and characters behind this film are so laden with idiosyncrasies that they took me way out of my comfort zone. I don't mind when films do that but this did it in a way that was deeply depressing. Incest, gang-rape (of Jodie, naturally), homophobia, voyeurism and an assortment of people so stangely matched as to give the impression that it's actually several stories woven together. I tried hard to get a positive out of this film and simply couldn't manage it. The film begins, plays for a while and then stops at, possibly, the n-thousandth word because, apparently, in New Hampshire (or Bartledan) that's how long scripts are.
