Audience Member Eugenia Yuan is great as always. The rest of the story is too dull. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member By no means is this the worst film that I have ever seen; it is, however, on a long list of terrible films that I have seen. Every character in this film suffers from a, really bad & persistent, form of stupidity. To describe Jorge, the main character & clearly the worst character in the film, as morbidly shy is a morbidly understated description of the character. He obviously suffers from some sort of delusional paranoia, immensely afraid of everything, the shyness being the one aspect of his personality that is the most apparent. For Jorge to be the main character in this film the writer(s) and/or director(s) of this film must have suffered from some form of brain-death. I half expected the movie to introduce a subplot about a case worker that got Jorge the job at the diner, through some sort of a state-funded program that tries to make retards self-sufficient by getting them jobs. At the same time, I was hoping that his `roommate` would do him in; sort of a suicide by proxy... The only thing worth a damn in the entire film is the character Amy. While every character in the film suffers, at the very least, from some form of stupidity, she's the only really likable character. I borrowed it from my local library and I did so bc I had heard a couple of good things about one of the production companies that worked on the film; Ghost Robot has only done one other movie that I have seen and it, Cropsey, was, truly, an excellent film. I was hoping that the intelligence that went into that film would have been instilled into this one as well. The dvd extra's may actually end up being the best thing about this film. Overall, a waste of my time. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Tim C Atmospheric piece with some nice moments but ends up going nowhere and saying nothing. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/16/13 Full Review Audience Member Liked the music, acting of female lead - LOVED, and the stories, but still didn't quite get the story line thread... Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member pas mal de bonnes idees pour ce petit film drôle et tendre. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow to unfold and not much payoff for sticking with it, but some really unique and interesting animation.
