A Snooze Fest
I decided to watch it because I like Lucky McKee's work, 'May' being one of my favourite films. I also really liked 'Sick Girl' and 'The Woman'.
It was hands down one of the most boring films I have ever watched in my life.
The hour and a half dragged on, feeling like an eternity. The slow, depressing atmosphere didn't help. While the actors were engaging, their efforts weren't enough.
The first half vaguely reminded me of Elijah Wood's 'Come to Daddy', but that film was far more interesting.
My gut kept telling me to stop watching it after 30 mins but once I start a film, I have to finish it.
Directors often struggle to match their exceptional works. Lucky McKee's 'Old Man' is a prime example.
I made the same mistake watching the John Woo directorial Silent Night, as Face/Off is another one of my all time favourite movies.
Save yourself the bother and find something else to watch. Consider yourself warned.
