You'll get more out of if it than seeing this movie ,good god the writer is in love with himself.He is to self involved into his own thoughts he over thinks everything and seems confused . He sounds like he read up alot of philosophy so much in fact that he doesn't know how to quite formulate or articulate it into a solid idea .I like emmy rossum and justin long has grown on me but .This film is isn't very good or entertaining or interesting .It was written by someone who thinks way too freaking much he's got alot of smarts just no intelligence .This would do better as a short story amongst hippies at a sit in while smoking herb.It just doesn't translate well into a interesting film at all you could care less about these peoples lives .I had my fingers crossed for a moment i thought that a comet would come crashing out of the sky and hit these two film over .Or at least and apple fall out of tree and knock these two idiots out and or knock some sense into them . On a scale of 1-5 i give it a 1 ,it just isn't that good to where i would tell someone to waste their money or time to go see it .I mean unless you absolutely had nothing going on with yourself then i'd say go see it .

Quality in art is not merely a matter of personal opinion but to a high degree objectively traceabl

This would do better as a short story amongst hippies at a sit in while smoking herb.

Lol....who do you think the target audience was? Didn't see it regularly advertised in major cinema - but it has familiar enough faces not to qualify as raw independent film.

It's for the mainstream indie, digestible enough for the average gal but heady enough for the average gal that wants something more substantive in a genre that is usually seen as an Achilles's heel self-indulgence. Alas, I feel it missed the mark a bit this time round. It was an interesting idea, wonderful cinematography, but ultimately bland. What bothered me most was that it was very very intent on reminding the audience that it's a multi-dimensional, intellectual piece when I felt it was a relatively linear story, simply with the major pieces of the puzzle (blocks of time in their lives) shuffled around in artistic order rather than chronological order. I felt they could have done so much more with the cosmological aspect they were trying to achieve but didn't ;p boo

It just doesn't translate well into a interesting film at all you could care less about these peoples lives.

Dear Complete Stranger on the Internet,

Please don't tell me what I care about.

Sincerely,

Doggie Rodriguez

It's the neuter "you" because using "one" makes you sound prudish :D

Have a good one.

Aren't the prudes the ones who neuter you? Seriously though, I think he wrote in the second person which is rare because it elicits this very reaction. Better and more accurate is to simply use first person.
