This movie is competently put together and everything, but it’s possibly the slowest moving thing I’ve ever suffered through. None of the characters seem to really give a damn about what’s going on, and the efforts to “keep it real” (there’s this speech towards the end about “invisible people, the ones you don’t notice” being interesting – yeh, just not these ones) serve only to make it lifeless. I felt the same after this as I did after My Summer of Love – I mean, I’m all for realism in movies, sometimes it can be fantastic; but most of the time, real life is deadly dull, and that’s the case here. Even the ‘surprising’ is no surprise: least of all, as I said, to the characters. That said, as the end credits rolled, I found that I felt at least like I’d been through something different. This could be a movie that improves on a second viewing – I’ve no idea if or when that will occur, though.
