Movie Reviews
Real and deep
As a fan of Short Stories, I enjoyed this movie..its long and the stories aren't connected. Be warned.
Each story is life a glimpse of various people's lives. Great acting, directing and cinematography in most stories. Its very long at 3 hours. It is somewhat dark. So watch it when in a good mood lol.
The format of short stories told via film is very intriguing to me. But if you are expecting a traditional movie with protagonists and antagonists that develop over one main story line and concludes with a clear message or meaning, well this film will only disappoint you.
