A show about nothing

As the Seinfeld show demonstrated, when you make a show about nothing it has to be entertaining. This movie demonstrates that when it is about nothing, with characters who are nothing, filmed with endless shots of walking nowhere, eating, cleaning up in a toilet, walking some more, that the director/writer equates Chinese water torture with art.

The ending is the only thing to appreciate, because it is over!

To fill my minimum length; It stinks.

It's rotten.

It's excruciating.

It's a colossal, inexcusable, pretentious, soul destroying BORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone praising this film should be banned from writing any reviews in the future.
