Wasted

By MR. Univers​e on January 13, 2010

Sitting and watching the film just feels like a waist of time. It’s one of these films that could be characterized as much ado about nothing like the Shakespeare play some movie characterized like this can be great like THE BIG LEBOWSKI but this is on the opposite side of the spectrum and is boring and wasteful.

The film seems built around a gimmick that was used to get people interested and be characterized as controversial but it has nothing really controversial about it. It just more or less explores friendship and modern bohemia. Which really isn’t that interesting in this case.

When it comes to mumblecore I like the idea of it more then I like the results I like movies that reveal character more then realistic conversations and respect it as a way to make films significant and low budget like a late American new wave but I find I rarely like any of the mumblecore films

Another mumblecore film I am not the biggest fan of this genre as most of the films feel pretentious and self indulgent. This one doesn’t feel any different other then actually having a clear plot. The film is low budget and goes on endlessly about relationships and art but it feels like hot air as it doesn’t feel like the characters really believe in anything they are saying and feels more like a pt on then anything else.
