Review of The Brown Bunny (2003) by Joseph J — 02 Oct 2009

I found the film too slow with many shots just plain too long for my taste. Gallo's character is depressed and emotionally lost. I got it. I didn't need it repeating over and over. All the driving scenes just caused me apathy.

Still, overall it's an ok piece of Art with a strong ending and despite the boredom I suffered, it still managed to wring some emotion from me. However, it needs to be at least 30 minutes shorter before I would even consider recommending it to friends. I feel it could have had the same impact, if not greater, with a runtime of about 40 minutes.
