2/10
An overly long hipster movie
21 December 2023
From the start you can tell something is up - not by the story but by all the glances to camera, plonky piano, rising strings and sudden bursts of modern music.

Lots of strange things happen but nobody acknowledges these.

They just sit around hoping things will get better.

By the two-hour mark I was actively hoping that all the characters would get killed.

As the film goes on many events become redundant and are quickly overshadowed by the riddiculousness that follows.

Everything becomes so silly: According to this film there is no point in putting pilots in planes.

Apparently no society can survive without the internet - I guess the world didn't exist before the 1990s

The soundtrack is physically unpleasant and the camera work annoyingly obtuse.

This film is painfully artsy, full of oh-so clever references and hat tips about modern culture.

Things like colour coding scenes (yes, I have seen "Run Lola Run" too) and inserting visual barriers between groups of characters becomes overwelming.

If you have the best part of three hours free to pull this apart to find the little nuggets of pointlessness then good luck to you.

I found this painfully slow and silly,
