the last couple of week in the life of a dead vagabond woman be tell in flashback . like the vagabond and the film wanders aimlessly and rather pointlessly . mona and the lazy and sullen and and drug addict title character and be not likable and bonnaire do little to make her interesting . although there be some pretentious dialog attempt to explain why mona have choose this miserable lifestyle and her motivation be never really clear . the episodic nature of the film and involve some random character and become tiresome after a while and make it seem much long than it running time . it be also hard to believe that an attractive young homeless woman would not draw more attention from men .
