This is one of the biggest wastes of time I've ever had recommended, and one of the most worthless "films" I have ever seen receive a wide release, especially one that's spanned decades. Criterion...really?
Watching this movie is like watching an expansive behind-the-scenes special for a movie that doesn't actually exist. Behind-the-scenes features are rarely that interesting unless it's one of your favorite movies, so imagine how boring one would be for a low-budget movie that consists purely of two people having conversations at a park?
I found absolutely NOTHING of value through viewing this. At first, I felt like it at least may be a worthwhile time warp into 1968 when it was shot, but that whole idea quickly loses its charm when the vapidity of the content itself becomes apparent. I found no connections between the scripted conversations occurring as part of the fictional film and the film crew discussions regarding the making of the film. There is nothing to take from any of these conversations, or "characters"...This may be what I consider the greatest failure of an experiment in the format of a film, EVER made. That's just me...
