I want my 92 minutes back


I should've shut it off after 10 minutes of absolute nothing happened. There's no explanation as to how these people met, decided to leave their London lives and live a communal life in a secluded cabin. Just a bizarre, under-indulgent, work of nothingness. The shots were meaningless, the dialogue pointless. I really tried, I wanted to see a deeper meaning but holy criminy....what the what?!!

It was a 30-minute drama wrapped in 50 minutes of pointless shots. I couldn't stand the sound or cinematography. The direction and acting were just all over the place.

I wish I hadn't seen it, even though, in the right hands, it could have been a very interesting/enjoyable film.

Agree somewhat...but whose different hands? Was it the writing? The directing? The acting? The cinematography? There were several shots that almost were, but failed to capture. There were even almost moments I could see the actors come within a moment of something...but the whole thing just failed. I've never believed one could have bad sex...until I did. That's how this film felt to me. I had such hopes for it, but no go.
