Ratings and reviews

The movie is not put together in a flowing context. Jumps around from image to image. The artistic marit may hold the viewer's attention for a short period only, for me about 15 min. I watched till the end hoping it would get better, it did not. This film should have been done as a short film, displayed at a film festival only. Not worth the purchase price or my time, IMO.

Nice imagery...but it goes on too long. Wanted to like it, But in the end felt like a waste of time.

One of the most boring and non-sensical movies I've ever seen. Artistic/visual yes, narrative/coherency no.
