        This film is relentlessly melodramatic; every scene is occupied by characters who scream and cry about their bleak, miserable lives. Since there is no emotional context to any of the episodes, they quickly become exhausting and repetitive. The cast is full of A-list actors, but none of them feel involved in the material. Along with the script, the acting feels strained and self-conscious. An unplesant movie with no pay-off.

        I was surprised this was actually better than I thought it would be. Usually when I watch movies like this where there are like 6 mini stories that are losely connected I always get frustrated because I dont feel like they end properly. But with this one it actually was rather satisfying. Sure, none of the storylines are comepletely concluded but it still makes perfect sense and I can live with the ending(s) as they were. And well acted on all counts. Some really great actors in there. What did this movie teach me? It's a small world.
