Review title: Not quite as good as they say...
Product review: Well, a movie can be clever and sharp and have a lot of interesting characters, and still be kind of boring and pointless.I know that for some reason this film was celebrated because of Harvey's unique point-of-view and insight into his dead-end empty life. I'm not sure exactly why. I guess he found a unique way to be unhappy which spoke to a lot of people. He is the shlub-everyman. Yippee.This unpleasant, drab movie has something to say - but I don't know why anybody really needs to hear it. Idiocyncracy is not a value in itself. My sense is that this film has some cultural cache' that isn't well-deserved.C'est la vie. With Splendor's success there will be new classes in film school on the art of gently wasting screen-time.
