Negative Positive
Title: A piece on ...
Review: I rented this movie based upon winning the Cannes film award in 1999. Surprisingly it has received many favorable reviews from critics. This movie fails on every level. Is it a whodonnit thriller? The cops couldn't find their way out of their own apartment. Is it a love story? No, it's not even a sex story. The pacing is purposefully slow, like a glacialy slow. 2001 is the classic movie for slow, and you "get" the point of it. This movie has no point to get. You don't envy any of the characters, or pity them, you don't care for them at all because they're all pathetic. This is the classic case of critics seeing too many movies. They tend to give high marks for films just for being different. This movie belongs on the... heap.
Is the review positive or negative?
