it sad that director with no talent use odd cinematographic technique in an attempt to disguise the film inadequacy . what bad though and be the stupid sheep like gullibility of some of the view public who interpret such novelty a daring and mold breaking . mary mcguckian be plainly a person devoid of talent and vision or taste . do i hear you say but it refresh to see a director explore new idea . yes and it be refresh but this no talent director have simply exhibit pretension and stupidity any fool can do that . mary mcguckian be not go to be part of cinema future . she will just slink into the shadow of obscurity and those few who remember her so call effort will regard the experience with revulsion . i would have rather be able to sum up rag tale a minus 10 but negative be the low i could award . negative be clearly undeserved praise and might ( horror of horror ) encourage this egregious blight on cinema to direct another movie . i ( a i be sure most other people will ) shudder at the thought . somehow and i imagine this breathtakingly inadequate director could even mess up sweep the street and so i would not suggest she take this up a a profession . if she do and walk around her home town would be a whole lot hard than it be now . ed wood movie be so mind bogglingly superior ( even at their bad ) to this woman pathetic offering that i feel embarrass at those who award ed wood the soubriquet a bad director ever . at least we could watch his film and laugh at how amateurish they be . in mary mcguckian case and we can not even do that . there nothing in rag tale to raise a smile not even a smile of poignant sadness . what in heaven name be the producer think about to allow this claptrap to be release . he should be jail for inflict cruel and unusual punishment on the audience . don not watch this film within 5 hour of eat food it will come right back in your lap .
