Title: Mundane Story, Amature Presentation, Good Acting
Review: This is a run-of-the-mill story line chopped up into little pieces and pasted back together again in a feable attempt to make it artistic. There is the standard introspective stuff and the not so subtle question of God's existance so many people think is still provactive...blah, blah, blah, so what. Another problem is the characters. While not bad people, they are just not very likable or interesting. Clocking in at two hours and five minutes it seemed three hours and fifty five minutes as the story develops at a snail's pace. As others have said there is some decent acting here, especially by Naomi Watts so I'll offer two stars for that, otherwise this is just another average flick. Quentin Tarantino mastered this presentation style and it is interesting and well done in his films, but I'll be glad when this fad dies because in the hands of lesser talented directors like Alejandro González Iñárritu it is just annoying.
