Nobody Loves You and You Don't Deserve to Exist

I love off the wall films and this was certainly visionary - as reviewed by others - but it left me feeling bored and watching the clock.

Monologue works better in Alan Bennett's Talking Heads, where the scripts are more tightly written, and the story arcs more accessible.

The dialogue feels very written rather than spoken and therefore quite unnatural, unlike in Shane Meadows' nominally comparable films where adlibbing creates a feeling of authenticity.

Plot is almost entirely absent and, while I can appreciate that plot is often prioritised over character in mainstream film making, I personally need more of what I would call plot (and call back) to maintain my interest.

The casting was good but the middle actor is very 'theatrical' in his delivery, and I couldn't suspend my disbelief. The older jack's drunken scene towards the end was a fantastic peice of acting.

Overall, I would say that, while very worthy, and absolutely correct in its themes of modern British degradation, it was a film that I would not watch again, and not recommend except to a technical audience, who would no doubt find much of interest in its unusual execution, for better and worse.

I know I'm vastly outnumbered in my relatively negative opinion, but I still deserve to exist.
