I saw the film at its opening in Hollywood yesterday. Although the actors do a pretty good job and the photography is beautiful, there is definitely a lack of something in that movie. A lot of characters, but never really fully developed. What's that girl's problem, the one who self-inflict cuttings or her thighs and arms? Why did Becky commit suicide? I suppose it's meant to trigger Victor's departure but it's unclear. It looks like a minor climax, but where is the big one? What's with those two kids smoking pot all day long? It's more comical than anything else. And that climax that really never comes... That scenario never takes off and ends up being pointless.
