CGiii Comment

Boswell's feature debut...and, not a patch on his mediocre shorts.
 
A word of advice...DON'T start a 107 minute film with a self-penned poem - the audience will be running for the exit in next to no time.
 
It may be verité...but, sort out the sound, the editing and the lighting.
 
Is this meant to be Dogme? Kind of missed the boat there.

This is a wholly joyless experience...that is, if you can stay awake until the end - your nightmares will be more entertaining than this insufferable dirge.
