i saw this film but did not fall in love with it as much as i would have hoped. i was almost hoping that there shouldnt be more but that there should be less. i wanted it to be a little more vague. thats not to say that everything is spelled out. there is room for interpretation.

it seemed to me that the director was just feeling his way around at times. maybe trying to be a bit david lynchian in some regards. but it didnt have that natural oddness of flow that lynch can do so effortlessly.

this isnt to say that i didnt like the movie. i did. especially when the ending comes. but as a whole it just didnt get to me all that much.
