whilst this be most definitely a well craft piece of film making and it thoroughly without any entertainment value whatsoever . if youre depress already and this film will send you over the edge . if youre feel somewhat depressed and this film will be just one more thing in your life to feel bitter about . you will feel that it just your luck to have choose to watch a movie that turn out to be a complete waste of time . otherwise you might be able to make it through this film unscathed ( i do not and btw ) and safe in the knowledge that your life be so much good than jim . then again you might consider that you have be fool yourself and and that be in fact in a much bad situation than you would previously realize . you might feel a bit annoy at jim for bring this to your attention . you may want to slap him around a bit with a wet fish . the sad truth be and much a i want to like this movie . i hat it . it take rather a long miserable road down the path of oblivion and then suddenly and for no reason whatsoever and look back at itself and then stop . jim do not have an epiphany and at least not one that be convey on screen . jim have a miserable life and a miserable set of option . he discover nothing that one can relate to and fails to make any significant progress on his journey of self discovery . of course no one alive could write a happy end to this movie . a others have say it no hollywood tale and it gritty and it real . it well make . life be quite a struggle at time . if anyone be to know the answer and they do well to shout it from the rooftop . still and i feel cheat because this movie pretend to have something to say . you feel that it go to say something and that if you just suffer through a little more of it and it will have something to say . it will make you stop and think . it doesn not . again and i do submit that this be a well craft film . and therefore may be of value to a film student with a penchant for e. g. light technique of the use of colour palette . for the rest of u and it utterly miss able .
