a dark and very slow movie.
weirdo arthouse makes no sense nonsense garbage, rented, got like 30-40 mins in, dumped
This was very odd, difficult to follow unless you really concentrate.
Takes a while to get in to but when the story unfolds it turns into an interesting movie.
Very weird movie! Didn't understand anything!
It's a confusing set of four plots that come together, but by the end reveal, I'm not really caring anymore. It's unfortunate, as there's some decent ideas and cool imagery, but it just couldn't hold my interest throughout.

70/100 A very clever story of 4 individuals - a masked gumshoe in a dystopian world, a man searching for his son, a self-destructive artist, and a jilted fiancé - and how they eventually collide. It's unfortunate that the main characters have a real lack of personality making much of their stories rather lifeless and dull (I almost turned it off) but it was interesting to spot the connections as they are slowly revealed and, in the end, it was certainly worth the watch. Surprisingly good entertainment ...especially considering this was a completely random movie selection. -- DrNostromo.com
