Title: Hours and hours of dreary drudgery
Review: Please understand that I knew going in that this was a highly rated film that has a large adoring audience. But I will always give an honest assessment of how I react to a film. Maybe my expectations were too high. No, that's not it, at all. I really didn't know what to expect.This is three stories spun loosely into one. Set decades apart, in the 1920's, 1950's and 1990's, three women lead very comfortable but miserably unfulfilling lives. They mope about, drowning in self-pity, wishing they were happy, but doing nothing to achieve that goal. They seem to luxuriate in their own angst. Oh, sweet sorrow...Bah! These women are largely unsympathic characters with no discernable qualities other than their deep dissatisfaction with their upper-middle class existence. I'm just glad that I rented this rather than seeing it in a theater, where I'd have paid so much more for two hours of sheer boredom.
Is the review positive or negative?
