Nothing (2003)
6/10
about what I expected, but it should have been better

As far as Canadian movies go, this is pretty good. It's a decent low budget movie, decent acting, quite humorous, good set design and the effects were good as well. Now after saying that, this movie, with it's lofty goals, doesn't hold me in thrall like other low budget noodle scratchers (ie:'Donnie Darko' or 'Cube' as a few examples).

I remember seeing a making off type story on Movie television years ago, and was looking forward to seeing this. I had no idea I'd wait three years! As to the particulars of the movie. I loved the look of the house and the surreal nature of it at the start--a solitary left side of a side by side home in the middle of the freeway! Then the trouble the characters both go through by the 15 (?) minute mark, was both humorous and timely--no long Peter Jackson lets drag out the movie to hit three hours with useless details. The acting by the two leads was as good as needed.

I liked the look of the Nothing world, very minimal.

I did not quite understand the movie however. I liked watching the movie and waiting for the answer, too bad the filmmakers never divulged it.

By the way, stay till after the credits.
