The most hideous film I've ever seen
The first twenty minutes or so of this film were watchable, and even reasonably interesting. But it gradually spirals into a sickening, depressing, and astonishingly ugly story. Directed with an unashamedly misanthropic eye, the not-unimpressive cast is wasted on poorly-written and annoying characters. I don't think that, before watching this, I'd ever seen a movie that is totally bleak and dispiriting, and I am still wondering why anyone would want to give such a piece of work to the world.
If you are looking for a film that depicts even the vaguest hint of human goodness or achievement, look elsewhere.
