Review title: Pretty pictures with little substance.
Product review: While comprised of sometimes striking cinematography, on the whole Melancholia lacks both artistic merit and entertainment value. After patiently waiting through an attempt to build a sense of despondence and dysfunction in its remote cast of caricatures, the movie simply flat-lines. There is little development in plot, dialogue, circumstance, theme, or humanity. In the end, and this is little spoiler as we see it happen in the beginning, the planet, absurdly named "Melancholia," appears in a completely unrelated "deus ex machina" moment. Unfortunately, there is no appreciable predicament from which the characters are rescued. There is no problem solved or subtle nuance revealed. A bored girl is simply snuffed out next to her somewhat placated relatives. The only useful element brought by the appearance of the planet is, thankfully, the end of the movie.
