The Most Boring Movie I've Seen In Years


Boring doesn't necessarily mean bad. I get why this is a good movie: the acting is superb yet subtle; contains universally relatable themes of regret, self-doubt, decades of partnership; and blah blah blah more.

Doesn't change the fact that this is a boring-ass movie, and as boring as they get. Bring coffee and perhaps some amphetamines before you watch this, because you will have trouble staying engaged (unless you're so used to a life lacking any sort of excitement that you've honed your ability to enjoy watching paint dry).

Why is this movie so well received and showered with so much praise on the web? Because cool, level-headed, sincere and honest folks won't watch this. Only snobs who spend every year chasing banal small independent films, that they pretend are about more than they really are, will watch this. They will then proceed to stroke each others' private parts ever so gently, with increasing satisfaction (and perhaps ecstasy), as they talk about how 'marvellous', 'devastating' and 'haunting' this movie was for them.

I am truly impressed by your trolling skills.

I couldn't disagree more. This was far more thrilling to me than a Schwarznegger action film. It had depth, feeling and emotion that most films do not come close to having. It was a haunting movie but maybe it is meant for the post 50 crowd who can see parallels with their own lives.

Thank You!

Wonderful post!

I agree 100%!

this certainly isn't the best film on the planet but i'm surprised at the amount of people not moved at the end when Geoff breaks down and says convincing Kate to marry him was the best thing he ever did. if he wasn't profusely apologizing throughout the film (which he was) that most certainly was his big apology.

on another note, you can have a good film with unsympathetic characters. this was a good film, despite me wanting to wring Kate's neck.
