I hope this is the worst movie I'll ever see

I saw this movie at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival. Let me say right off, not only is this the worst movie I have ever seen, I hope to God it's the worse movie I will ever see. I've walked out of movies before, but this is the first time so many people walked out before me. The movie, if nothing else, was bad with a very consistent style. Essentially, characters would either be doing something, inevitably something not at all interesting and something for which you had no idea why they were doing it and they would continue to do it for a very long time. Worse, I had no idea what the purpose was, or what connected all these individually repetitively boring scenes. In one scene two people practice throwing each other to the ground. Perhaps they are actors practicing a scene. But, first, we have no idea why they are throwing each other to the ground, second it is not in the least interesting to watch and third…IT GOES ON FOREVER! And scenes like this make up the entire movie, or at least the first 60 minutes I suffered through.

I clicked that "Contains spoiler" option here, but it was hardly necessary since nothing happens to spoil. Please, do not be tempted to see this movie in the hopes it will be so bad it will be good. Or don't see this movie because you got the tickets for free. If you're an usher in the theatre where the movie is playing...quit! Basically, don't see this movie.

If you wish to see art, where none exist, lay on the grass on a warm sunny day and see pictures in the clouds.

score 1/10
