Traveling from the tragic to the comic, this multifaceted film is richly acted and imaginatively directed.
The story didn't fully answer all my queries about the characters, but did such a nice job of keeping me interested that I wound up appreciating the mysteries that remained.
Narratively club-footed but directorially assured.
Most of the film is so purposefully bound by its construct that it feels more like a creative-writing project (sure, give it an A) than a movie (B-).
Particularly anticlimactic - the film itself seems sprung from molting yuppie catalogs.
Fake-sounding dialogue, some over-deliberate performances and five amazingly trite linked stories.
Beautifully shot and littered with disquieting character business, the film is hog-tied by its own bad Big Idea.
