The acting is terrific and the story sets up a lot of potentially compelling subplots. But, though we realise that these characters are all interconnected, the movie seems to treat them in a disjointed, sort of disconnected fashion. This is a movie that promises to reveal something profound - about human nature, about character, about the complexities of relationships and of people - but instead, it takes the easy way out. Just when it sets up these characters as well-rounded, it drops them, leaving the audience out in the cold. The impression I was left with at the end wasn't "wow" or "interesting" but just plain "weird". I had free passes to this, and am pretty glad I didn't pay for it. (Note: I saw the French dubbed version of this movie, which is what I am reviewing here).
