Negative Positive
Title: Unbearably DREADFUL!!!!
Review: This movie is FOR SADISTS ONLY. From the beginning, you know that the central character is hopelessly doomed, and you spend almost 3 hours just watching her fall apart. It's so obvious throughout that she doesn't have an ice cube's chance in hell, and the film ponderously proves you right. I could not muster any sympathy at all for such a helpless, hapless, and totally idiotic character. The film is like one continuous, monochromatic downhill slide, with a puzzlingly "upbeat" (by comparison) or "inspiring" ending which is hilariously inane. Can be summed up thus: an idiotically naive, half-retarded woman falls blindly religiously in love with an undeserving lout and basically martyrs herself for him. Really difficult to watch...plus very pretentiously "artsy," self-indulgent and snail-paced.
Is the review positive or negative?
