Review of Upstream Color (2013) by Delusionn — 08 Jun 2013
A dull non-narrative film that attempts to lure you into hidden depths which are shallow and unsatisfying. Plot threads are presented and abandoned. The characters are undeveloped, unsympathetic victims of a situation that neither they nor the audience understand.
The movie keeps suggesting at some sort of resolution it never, ever delivers. An excellent film for philosophy majors who want to pontificate about cinema, and a terrible bore for everyone else. I can get behind non-narrative film-making and intricate plots, but this is only the former hinting at and avoiding the latter.
