Walden

To me, Walden seems almost outside the realm of criticism. Its not entertainment and I doubt the filmmaker intended it to be entertaining. Those who are criticizing it for being slow or unnecessary seem to be missing the point. I feel that its glacial pace, and lack of any real reason or satisfying conclusion is precisely what makes it special. I saw the film at Sundance and it was surely a test of endurance, but it was one of the most unique and memorable cinematic experiences I've had. Reminds me that a film can do so much more than tell a conventional story.
