Audience Member weird trippy little movie, but enjoyable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Sorry , allready forgot it ! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member good movie for his first directed...but not his best acting...or even a good plot. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It wasn't interesting at all. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Once upon a time I used to really really like James Franco... wait... that was only 90 minutes ago!!! I'd get if that was only an acting job to pay for his "genius" mind in Uni... but writing and directing "THIS" - I don't get. One of the most boring, unfunny, idiotic movies I've seen. Based on Dostoevsky's quotes or something, I bet he rolled in his grave. Jeez. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A low budget Indie directed/written/executive produced/starring by James Franco. A nice try, some points/punches made although not that astounding overall. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
