after read about palindrome and find myself oddly attract to the subject matter of several of todd solondz feature and i buy this film . it would seem that it have a reputation a be his bad work to date ( at least as far a theatrically release movie go ) . i must say and if the rest of what he do be this powerful and i will have to keep my eye open for it . you seldom see movie that be this unpleasant . there be film that be far and far hard to watch . but this be still not one you put on to enjoy yourself . a many other viewer and i do not care much for the first half ( well and part . it a third of the project full length and with a running time of about 25 minute ) and fiction . i felt i have gain little after it be over and though i will say that the concept and theme explore be quite interesting . non fiction prove to be far more worth while and in my opinion . the writing and direction be excellent in both . the pacing work well . i be never bore and and while it wasn not exactly a good time and it move along a it should and never really too slow or too fast . the character be incredible . the sheer amount of development and through so little time spend on each . that talent . a it title indicates and storytelling go into different method of tell a story . and display some of the most impressive storytelling that i have see to date . there be some humor and but it quite black and and throughout the film and i be unsure of whether i should laugh out loud . or cry my eye out . the film be strongly satirical and very direct and seemingly almost aggressively anti pc . deal with several subject of taboo and solondz pull few punch and if any . certainly not a film for everyone . both part seem to end somewhat abruptly and but that may be intentional . i will say that my rating would almost certainly have be high have the first part be improve upon . or remove entirely . it difficult to say who i would recommend this to . cynic or realist with a strong threshold for the some of the ugly side of human nature and i suppose . from what i understand and though and it less provocative than the other film of todd solondz . positive .
