Title: How is this worthy of being in the Criterion Collection
Review: If there was a deep meaning in this film, then I missed it entirely. After the first ten minutes of driving and talking I was bored. And then I got to sit through another hour of it before anything different happened. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of independent film and artsy originality. This simply had no depth. For a film that was apparently (from what I could tell) a character study of a man that is being slowly talked out of killing himself, it never once achieved any sort of intensity for me. I was so bored by the end of the film that by the time we saw the rough "home-video" style footage of the cast bumming around, I actually found myself laughing hysterically at the fact that I managed to sit through it. And then I laughed even harder when I ...found that it had been released by the Criterion Collection, and that it had an average review of 4 stars.What did I miss?
Is the review positive or negative?
