This movie was the most disconnected piece of sh*t I have ever seen, and I would strongly advise against wasting two hours of your life on it.
"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career..."
Unfortunatly I did.. and I agree with you it was a complete waste of time..
shareThe adages "there's no accounting for taste", "one man's trash is another's treasure", are appropriate to y'all's op.
This is a serious morality piece. There are a bunch of morality tales I've watched and they did nothing for me but tick me off, the ethical point they might have been making falling on my deaf ears, mind and heart in those instances. But this one touched me. Maybe one that touched and perhaps taught you something, if indeed you are teach-able (unfortunately, most people I find have their glasses so full they are not) would make me cry, 'Crap! From whom can I retrieve my 1 and 1/2 hours after watching that crap!'
Peace out, m8.
What's worse/ 'Jindabyne' or 'If A Man Falls In A Forest'?
shareI would not say this film was a complete waste of time but the pace was agonisingly slow and they could have done more with the concept....I wouldn't watch it a second time
shareThe last 15-20 minutes of this film are completely unforgivable. Probably the worst 20 minutes ever committed to film.
I loved Lantana and was initially captivated by this film as well - it ended up being a disaster.
I'm shocked. I haven't been so enthusiastic about a movie in years. I can't believe I never heard of it (grabbed it at random off the library shelf), and now that I look at these first mediocre-bad reviews on IMdB... well I am going to recommend it to everyone I know and felt sure anyone who saw it would be as captivated as I was. I thought it was excellent in every way. Visually beautiful with a beautiful sound track and a great, plausible, complex story. Every single character had a story, each character was flawed (as each person in real life is) and every actor was strong - even the children. The psycho-social stuff reminded me of Map of the World and both reflected how communities deal with tragedy by the absolute need to assign blame.
