But, as you noticed, my reactions on the other hand is a tad ambiguous, but leaning more towards the positive direction. And this film has made me really keen to try Cassavetes' more acclaimed films.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2017832040275963428.post-54002660155181396462011-02-20T02:58:13.962+05:302011-02-20T02:58:13.962+05:30"The film is flawed, no doubts about that – m..."The film is flawed, no doubts about that – most of the scenes suffer from being overlong, making it a difficult watch for most viewers.

The director was a rightly estemmed auteur, but this one never seems to come together, and leave one with the resonance that a number of others did. I'd say you basically corraled it with the clip above. But you done a great job providing the pros and cons here as always!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.com
