This tries to be so many things at once that it just comes across as a lot of depressing sitting and waiting. I can take a slow start, heck even a slow continual sizzle, but SOMETHING has to happen eventually.

I can already hear the cork sniffers lauding over this as "perfect real life drama".

Who goes to the movies to see "real life"?

This was truly a slow depressing snore-fest that ended for the character's with acceptance and for me with indifference. Did I mention that nothing was funny?
