The Waiter

Maybe it is not my taste, but it was a waste of time. Almost nothing happens the whole movie. Very predictable. The plot was not that interesting. Except for the main actor that played well, the rest of the actors were just bad.

The filmography/photography was the star in this movie. The acting of the two male leads was very good, but the female lead only had two expressions on her face during the entire film:slightly shocked or somewhat afraid. The plot wasn't particularly interesting either and all the characters were 2-dimensional, including The Waiter. I think if we'd learned more about what made him tick, the reasons behind his actions, this would be a much more interesting movie, because as it was it lacked depth.

When you see a movie categorized as "arthouse", its best to stay away, That way, you won't be sorry to have wasted 1-3 hours of your time, watching some meaningless meanderings of people/places/situations, without any real idea of what is going on. Sure, in this "movie", there are some definite things, but what they have to do with each other and why things happen the way the "director" puts them in, is totally unknown.

The arthouse label seems to have been devised in order for piss takers to put nonsense together and to persuade the critics & the public (while chuckling under their breaths), that their movie is a cerebral exploration of %^$£@*{+!><:"{}£$%($£@.

Don't waste your time. Find a real movie to watch.

Director: best get another job, where you actually do something.

No pun intended of course! And a movie that is about waiting - another pun? I guess so - but that aside the movie does move as slow as one may imagine (fear). Pacing wise this is something you have to accept it for what it is - the main character seems to have quite the boring life. Until there seems to be a new interesting neighbor.

If you have the patience to stick with the movie and the characters, there is an interesting movie - and some interesting beats to absorb. He may be lethargic or not - the question is if you can stick with him and the movie. So suspend your disbelief and go with the flow.

This movie imay bore you to death if looking for daily dose of media painkillers. The story is plain. Acting is restrictive. Pace is slow.

This is a zen story in images. It will force you to face yourself. It will remind you about your quest. It offers you a way out without loosing your integrity.
