Ethan Hawke garnered a lot of criticism for the poor direction on this film. It was all deserved. Let me add to the chorus.
The film was shot in a very grainy fashion with very distruptive scene transitions that would have taken away from this movie if there was something to take away.
The actors seemed to all sleep through this movie. So did I, as there is no plot. I watch a lot of foreign movies in which we enter in the midst of someone's life and exit before there is a concrete conclusion. I don't mind that type of cinema as long as the plot is interesting and the characters evolve from their experiences. I felt that these characters remained the same through the movie with no cohesive plot to keep my interest.
There are better ways to spend 1:49. I want my 109 minutes back.
