It is a performances centric movie
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
This movie is really bad. I have to think that they made it really crap-tastic on purpose. The "acting" seems fake, like they are trying to act normal, but are actually just acting "real" poorly. The entire movie is slow and basically only about how messed up they get all the time. I am no stranger to drugs. It's just not really that funny or interesting to watch people sit around and "do drugs" for 90 minutes. There are some well respected singer/songwriters in this film. I hope that this is a joke that they think is funny. I don't think it makes them look good and I don't think it makes East Nashville look that good for that matter. Really, I just hope I don't understand what they were doing here. I also hope not very many people judge Nashville based on seeing this. This is not the East Nashville I know.
