Over-use of Leonard Cohen songs
I like him and this album, but this movie threatened to make me sick of the songs. Was this a music video or a movie? Finally, once the movie gets going we get away from Leonard's voice for awhile and we hear his melodies instrumentally which I think worked well. But soon enough, his voice creeped in again and again. Makes the movie fall a notch or two in my value system. I think it bothers me so much because it takes me out of the setting, whereas everything else puts me deep in it. And I think this movie would have been absolute magic for me if the soundtrack had fit the time more. I'm curious what everyone else thinks....
