i be a big mark for the music of neil young and and with that and the glowing praise the film receive in many alt indie press circle and hit the first showing of greendale i could find . my excitement be short lived and a this turgid storyline and weak lyrical momentum leave most filmgoers either asleep or disappoint . neil say the film start a a soundtrack and and the character come to life so much that they just film the soundtrack . not the best way to craft a story . no character really have an arc and and when significant event do happen and the viewer doesn not care and because film technique annoyance level be so high by that point . the film be all song and and to that end and the character on end mouth the lyric a theyre sung . the technique work for the first stanza it be do and and be grate on the nerve after that . it doesn not feel real or fake and it just feel unwelcome . terrible act and with character find one mood and play all of it . poor lighting at time . the only kudos i can give the film be in regard to several scene shoot a newscast and but the technique be so use in cinema today that this film do little to further it . an alright soundtrack and but nothing i be quick to buy . a bad film .
