Terrible film! (contains small spoiler!)


I was not the only one who walked out of this film this afternoon at
AFI Filmfest. The animal brutality, pointless and gratuitous orgy/sex
scenes, and lack of real story had at least a few of us wondering how
on earth it got into the film festival. The Orgy scene was so pointless
and gratuitous, that the guy sitting next to me was touching himself. I doubt he was the only one. The film seems to be for those who get off on animal cruelty and watching others have sex. Die-hard fans of the director were the ones laughing during the violent scenes. Weeak story, bad writing, and horrible material.
What a terrible film!

I Agree, this film was total sh*te, an insult to my intelligence. Strange thing is it has a fairly high rating and NOT ONE user review. I might write one myself warning people not to bother as it was really that bad!

I think it's fine to think that it's terrible, but to suggest that either of those scenes were pointless is to far too casually dismiss them. It could have explicitly stated for those who don't care to establish for themselves why those scenes were there, but thankfully it wasn't that rigid or condescending.

We walked out an hour through. Nothing made sense and the sex and animal scenes were a bit uncalled for. A very boring film with a plot and chronology that jumped around more than a kangaroo on a pogo stick

There is such a thing as being too cryptic, and this film definitely suffers from that.

Since this is supposedly semi-autobiographical, it makes me wonder if even the director's family understands the point of the film.
