OXV: The Manual

Frequencies (aka OXV: The Manual) has a great cast, great cinematography, and much more but if a filmmaker is confused about what the title of his film is, maybe there are other important aspects of the film he hasn't figured out, like a plot, characters, meaning, etc. Real life is very confusing sometimes but a successful film, no matter what its goals, is more than just scenes strung together just as music is more than just a bunch of sequential notes. Just because you can't figure out what happened doesn't mean you've read a clever story. The emperor does indeed have no clothes and if Frequencies (aka OXV: The Manual) does have any meaning it's a lot more hidden than it ought to be in order for most ordinary people of average frequency to find it. Maybe Frequencies (aka OXV: The Manual) is what happens when you make it up as you go along and when the time to end it comes, well, you just stop. If Frequencies (aka OXV: The Manual) actually had a coherent story or something meaningful to say it could have been a great film, but it simply doesn't. It just pretends to.
