      Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Fascinating in the abstract but wearisome in reality. Rated: B May 4, 2005 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe A textbook example of how a director can strip away plot, motivation, character, and meaning and still leave arrant pretension standing tall. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 16, 2004 Full Review Ruthe Stein San Francisco Chronicle Muddled. Rated: 1/4 Jun 18, 2004 Full Review David N. Butterworth La Movie Boeuf "It's nothing sex in a movie about nothing people doing nothing in the middle of nowhere for no reason." Nicely put, Joshua Tanzer (offoffoff.com). Rated: 2/4 Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Donald J. Levit ReelTalk Movie Reviews Mutterings and short clipped dialogues in ellipses may convey reality but are hard on a movie audience. Nov 28, 2013 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com The French picture aims to titillate and shock with its graphic sex and violence, but ultimately it's monotonous and pretentious. Rated: C Jun 15, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      MARIO ITS SO BAD IT SHOULD BE ERASED FROM THE EARTH! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Spoiler alert. The movie started out slow and then hit the brakes. Half way through I'm thinking 2.5-3. Even after the Deliverence scene I was willing to give it a 2. Then it sunk into melodramatic screaming which made me say "oh gawd" They couldn't even get the blood splatter right. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor characters, and confused motivations. Plus for the ending, otherwise not worthwile. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I think I was just in the right (bad) mood for a blast of total misanthropy. I found the ending weirdly cathartic for some reason. I probably shouldn't say that out loud. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Still trying to process what I have just seen. I might have indigestion for some time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member What did it want to say, really??!!! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
