Quite a good movie, sometimes it felt a little slow but it made up for that in having an exceptional sense of the whole movie being one long shot that faded into each new scene. The editing was absolutely incredible. The character development was excellent and flowed quite nicely, each character flaw coming out at a perfect time to make the scene a little more vibrant.

Maybe you have to be an actor or into production to really love this film; it tries way too hard to be heady to be very enjoyable--it ends up it fails at both. I had it figured out within the first few minutes of the film.

A dramatic comedy, really great character exploration and film style. Very funny but in a dramatic way. One woman said it was the worst movie ever made in her review. I think that person has not seen many movies. It's fine if you don't like it, but it is a very well made movie and it does exactly what it's trying to do. There are a lot of really poorly made movies that have nothing going for them, nothing works and it is a disaster. This is not in anyway that kind of movie.
