Too much going on... Sorta Spoiler alert


You know how they have movies with 90 headline stars in one movie and everyone goes to see their favorite star only to find each only has one line. - Well, this movie has 90 separate plots something for everybody. Foreign film (2 languages - I mean 3 languages w/ subtitles) Love story/triangle, life of a lonely priest, the difference between Christian practices (Catholic vs. Holy Ghost Protestant, environmental crisis, affluenza issues, indulged kid, and I only made it 40 minutes in. Even if I was interested in all of these issues, which actually, I am, I don't need it all in one movie to be filmed as if it were an overview (literally, like the way the paparazzi films weddings in a helicopter) How am I supposed to care about the characters and their experiences. This is one of the strangest movies I've ever seen. It's not bad, just crowded.
