I have a friend who does reviews for an online movie review site and he had a review screener. He knew I was a fan of Vincent Gallo and Chloe Sevigne, so invited me to watch it with him.
Total garbage. Gallo's always been a pretentious filmmaker, but this was more than I could handle. This was more pretentiuos than Julien Donkey-Boy when Harmony Korine was establishing dogme cred. It was filled with poorly written characters, long stretches of nothing happening but driving...and the infamous blowjob scene. OK, the blowjob scene was nice, but I wish Chloe had picked a better movie to break that barrier.
Cheryl Teigs was wasted and just phoned in a performance. You generally don't get these types of phoned-in performances in smaller movies like this because they sure aren't doing it for the money.
The dialog was bad, and usually I can forgive that, but not from Vincent Gallo, who wrote an amazing screenplay with "Buffalo '66".
I think most of my dislike of this movie stems from liking Vincent Gallo and wanting to like this movie so much and I just couldn't.
I can handle bad movies, but I can't stand boring movies.
