38Fake-sounding dialogue, some over-deliberate performances and five amazingly trite linked stories.
-
38There's less here than meets the eye, not to mention the ear, nose, tongue and fingertip.
-
30A self-consciously arty ensemble piece that's alternately exploitative, implausible and cliche ridden.
-
30Beautifully shot and littered with disquieting character business, the film is hog-tied by its own bad Big Idea.
-
30It's all quite precious, just not in a good way: "Postmodern" to a fault, deeply shallow, infuriatingly trite.
-
30By interweaving several stories, the movie suffers from a peculiar multiplier effect: it deepens its shallowness.
