Redundant and unnecessary.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I actually liked this film. No it isn't perfect-but it gave me a feeling that not many others have. I'd compare the feeling to the one I got from Clean, Shaven and Inland Empire. Sort of a nightmarish claustrophobia, but the sort you get from being stuck inside your own body. I think the director deserves credit for a haunting, unique film. I really related to the main character in her 'lostness'...this movie really gets that the most disturbing things are not subversive or alien to us- they are real situations, every day things. No, there's not a real plot or a satisfying-loose ends-tying finale, but if there were I'd feel cheated because life isn't like that. I think this film has been reviewed by too many people who have never experienced real fear.
I was very disappointed by this movie and all I could think of was that I wanted the time and money back that I wasted. I can't believe that the Austin Film Society granted Kyle Henry the money to make this "film" that never seemed to go anywhere. Kyle Henry and Cyndi Williams were in attendance and they didn't even seem to know what the movie was about during the q & a session. Kyle stated that Americans are often spoon fed the answers in a film that are merely crap. Well I would have like to have been spoon fed some of that crap because at least those movies have a direction, a definitive ending, and leave the audience with something to think about other than that's an hour of my life I'll never get back.
The only reason I gave this movie a 2 was for the acting... it was really quite good. Otherwise, I would have given it a -10. Utter rubbish. Yes, the camera work was good and as mentioned the acting was just fine. But a plot that made sense would have been nice. There were a few clever twists and turns and then... nothing. We're left, at the end, with a swirling montage representing nothing... if they are waiting for money to make the sequel, "Room for hire", I'll chip in a dollar. Maybe then it would end. Frankly, I hate pretentious work that purports to be "meaningful." The review said it was "existential." I think Sartre or Camus would be laughing silly to the banality of the idea of this 'existentialism." It looked more like she needed a fine tuning knob on her vision receptor. I truly hated this movie for making me wait 75 minutes to find out they had no idea how to end it. And the poor actors, still waiting for an ending, so they could have the denouement. A lot of hot air signifying absolutely nothing. I hope he never makes another.
Ouch. Wow. Terrible. Simple film that is so dull and boring with no rhyme or reason. The first half is almost interesting as she "loses it"... but the second half she wanders around NY in a dazed fog, leaving the viewers in a dark cloud of disappointment. The ending was nothing at all... leaving us so empty. The rental box sounded very compelling, but the film is a waste of time. Hey, the lead actress did a really good job of playing the part of the overburdened, confused and dazed housewife, but the role was not enough to carry this film.Sorry, don't rent this one. All they had to do was give us a solid second half and a firm conclusion and I would have given it a 5.
