Featured review
for people saying this isn't funny or whatever, its not a comedy. it just has its slightly humerus/tragic moments that may appear funny to you if you can relate.
to me, its kind of a mix between I <3 huccabees and ghost world. Yeah its kind of off beat and slow paced but that doesn't make it a bad film. I can completely relate to art, struggling to connect with a distant and dysfunctional family. he is frustrated with his life and struggling to see reason and purpose.
I liked this film, because it addresses dysfunctional families, mental health and feelings of disassociation with the world around us. And I'm not a fan of Robert really, so the assertion in earlier comments that only Patterson obsessed ppl would like it, and only out of bias, is very unfair to this film I think.
its rare to find films similar to this that really communicate this feeling of frustration and search for answers. all the characters seem very self involved, and that seems to be the way of the world. it has to be common to feel alone when no one actually listens to what you say.
