Title: An excruciating experience
Review: One has to wonder just what film was the director trying to make.It starts as a lively, entertaining study of family dynamics. Then it shifts to a long, interminably boring segment that's supposed to be a study of grief but is, in reality, just a long series of under-directed vignettes that all fade to black and give absolutely no motivation whatsoever for what follows. And what follows is yet another wrenching, inexplicable shift into the vigilante/revenge genre.... When there are some film-makers out there that really know how to tell a story, who do critics go ga-ga over a film-maker who largely depends on the audience to fill in the emotion he can't seem to put on the screen?
Is the review positive or negative?
