S R Bizarre and slow reflection film. I did like the Alps setting though. Made me jealous for others possessions and circumstances. It was on IMDb's 250 list, but I don't think it should be. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Audience Member It’s just a Pacific Heights with different actors Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/19 Full Review Audience Member Though the cinematography is impressive a film needs to do more than just look good to sustain attention for two hours, and this fails completely to engage on any other level. The biggest problem is that the characters barely talk - which makes it impossible to work out how they might relate to each other, to feel empathy towards any of them, or to discern anything approaching a coherent narrative. That isn't "deep", it's just bad storytelling. It's depressing to see so many critics lauding this film, as in my view it's the kind of thing that gives art cinema a bad name (and I like art cinema). You might as well stick a Rorschach blot on the screen - I'm sure many of the drooling critics would find that "profound" and "poetic" too. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member This is so terrible, so pretentious, so silly that it's flabbergasting. The camera jiggles, and when something important is happening the camera jiggles even more, and it becomes very dark so you can't tell what happened. Maybe someone got hurt. Or killed. Or met a chipmunk. Impossible to know. Then the big music slows down again and you're somewhere else looking at other people. Probably people who weren't in the movie before. Lots and lots of different people. But a lot of time you don't actually see people. The jiggly camera focuses on stomachs, necks, that sort of thing. No one to root for. Nothing to hope for. You see a guy stop his car and shave with an electric razor. Not a clue, mind you, but the director found it interesting. It's a movie for people who are too insecure to admit they have no idea what's going on. Even if we were to find some answers, was it really worth all the trouble of watching garbage like this? Not a chance. I freely admit I wrote this review after viewing the thing for only about 45-50 minutes, but if this much of the film is absurd and foolish, can the rest save it? I felt it was my responsibility to warn others. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Did not make any sense.
