John Bond
I couldn't see it through to the end.Being a typical ex-smoker, I hate smoking. Right from the start, I was bitterly reminded of the horrible dark days of sore throats and sickness from the incessant smoking by the main characters. The very real hacking coughs of the main characters were sickeningly, and I had to stop watching before I puked from the horror of it.Sorry, such crassness cannot be excused as in any way artistic.Mind you, if you are thinking of giving up the smokes, I recommend you watch.Might just be the best stop smoking cure ever.

Like the title say's you for sure have to keep an open mind while watching this film. It's shot oddly but yet unique and for people who sit there and say "wow i like how he shot that" then this movie is for you. I read the reviews for this movie before i watched it and was ready to see complete garbage but instead what i got was great acting, great film making, and great production. Giovanni Ribisi played an amazing role as Grey Evans and I shall be adding this to wall of movies I have very soon. The Ending I thought was fit and really set an end to the tone the movie was having. It's a complete work of art showing how even the stars that we all love can have inner demons and no one can be above the fact that some people need love in their lives.

It seems people either love or hate this movie.I think novels, movies, and art do not have to follow an "essay" format. There's no requirement that a hypothesis must be proffered and clearly and logically proved within the movie/book. The goal may be to make people think, to raise questions without giving easy answers, and to do so in a framework that incites both feeling and thought simultaneously.Hrm, I don't think I'm writing this in a way that really gets my thoughts across, but there you have it.I enjoyed the movie. It was thought provoking without being highbrow. There was no "moral story" laid out or beaten into you.I'd recommend this movie for people who like mystery, thought, and don't necessarily require a definite answer/conclusion to enjoy a film. The acting was super, and the movie flowed well.:) Alma

i had high hopes for this movie, seeing that I liked Giovanni Ribisi on My Name is Earl, and i like Jason lee. i watched this movie and any hope i had for it was destroyed halfway through. there was hardly any plot progression throughout the entire movie and it was so odd that i felt i needed to pick up the cliff's notes to understand it. the story twisted and turned and included things that were kind of stupid and introduced subplots which were not later revisited and explained. in fact, very little was explained in this movie. i did however enjoy Jason lee's role, albeit very small. he brought a certain realism to stalkers' obsessions. whatever other deep themes were waiting to capture my attention didn't, and the rest of the movie just plain sucked.
