Best movie of this year hands down!

Such a frustrating disappointment

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

This movie has strange characters played by interesting choice of actors. It keeps you enthralled because you want to see how their persona's are involved in the main story. The main story follows a man named Franklin Franklin. (Not a typo) he has to deal with the body of his dead landlord sitting in his apartment. Franklin's character comes across to me as a simpleton. Every time Franklins neighbors ask if the has seen the landlord he just blatantly says that he's dead on the floor, but nobody delves further into the claim. They simply take it as sarcasm. Franklin gets a letter from his brother everyday and then the day came where a letter didn't. Franklin thinks about his time with his brother. It shows flashbacks of him and his brother infatuated with a self help author with claims of mental help. All in all, you should watch this movie. (I don't want to spoil it for anyone even though I put spoilers in the message) It was entertaining and has surprisingly tear jerking moments with great messages on life.

'Small apartments' is all about its presentation. What we see is a pretty uninteresting story, told to us in a slightly dark, moody, nevertheless humorous, and - in any case - highly original way.This presentation surely makes 'Small apartments' an unusual film. A good watch, however, for the dullness of the plot is more than compensated by its flawless high-quality acting.In spite of all this, what remains after wards is a slight feeling of dissatisfaction. With a better plot 'Small apartments' would easily have been at the top.Unfortunately this is not achieved, so we have to be content with an excellently acted, slightly surrealistic and doubtless original package.

If you relish the quirkiness of "Juno", "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "Little Miss Sunshine", then you have to see this movie. I won't go into the detail of the plot line as there are plenty of reviews on that already, but if you relish the out of the ordinary compared to the typical Hollywood fare, then watch this movie. You won't be disappointed. Very funny and at times, very touching. All the actors put in great performances and sometimes it's not about the big "stars" you can attract or how many explosions you can create. This movie is about the story, and the lives of the characters within the story.

This movie is weird and disturbing movie when it starts but by the end it proves true to the purpose it is intended to have. The lives of the residents of an apartment building change when the owner is accidentally killed by one of the inhabitant. It take a while to get the hang of the pulse of the movie and it requires a lot of patience. The main protagonist is a loner and a voyeur who misses his ill(mentally) brother from whom he gets his taped messages. Meanwhile he is trying to dispose off the dead body of the owner. You do not fall in love with its characters or empathize with them but it definitely scares you to see their lives and you pray not to end up like them. But there are few moments when you feel sad for the people portrayed who are stuck in their little world and have distant hopes of escape from it. This movie forces you to confront or at least acknowledge the alienation,apathy,and surrender of some in the modern society who live on it fringe with little expectation of any worthwhile impact on anyone's life other than their own. But still it leaves you with a nice little message about forgiveness , family and the meaning of a well lived life.You are not going to remember this movie for long but it's decently directed eerie movie for a select few who are patient enough to take a lesson home.PS: Watch at your own risk.Either you will hate it or you will applaud the efforts for such a real depiction of lives in small apartments!
