Customer Reviews: Long but worth it February 15, 2009 Simon Carlton (Leeds, UK) This movie is absolutely brilliant. You'll watch it and not realise it to a few days later, but the way the stories and lives are woven makes it a gritty and engaging film. There are so many great actors in the film that give class performances that singling out a singling person would be wrong. YES it is very long and YES at times it seems like it is going nowhere, but at the end you'll appreciate it so much, it's like watching 12 movies at once. Probably the 1st and greatest portamento movie of all time, often copied (tarantino) and never bettered. BUY IT! great film March 14, 2009 O. Neale (London) If you like Magnolia, you'll like this. The acting is top notch, the various stories never get boring, the fact that there are so many stories means that the three hours fly by, and there are some interesting shots of Julianne Moore's anatomy. It's a little grim at times but not as grim as Magnolia. We don't have to watch Tom Cruise in this one at least. br / br /This film is a slice of LA which makes me never want to move there. In a good way. The script is pure Carver in the way that characters speak absolutely realistically. I recommend it. go compare September 27, 2008 Ian M. Buchanan (Cardiff, Wales) I've always been a great fan of this film, which is why I want to point out to viewers that part of it - section based on the story 'So much water so close to home' - has been remade, or repurposed in the Ray Larwrence film Jindabyne (2005), which relocates the action to Australia. It is the ultimate Altman tribute, I think, and adds new layers of complexity to the story. one of the most boring and depressing experiences I have ever had November 3, 2008 An avid reader (Newcastle upon Tyne) 0 out of 15 found this review helpful OK it's stylish, OK it's got a cracking cast and it's well acted, but this is simply the most boring film I have ever seen, nothing happens - honestly - nothing, there is just no coherent story line to link it all together and the entire 3 hours+ (and trust me, it felt longer) was like a series of completley unrelated, depressing and, ultimately, pointless vignettes. br / br /This is Altman at his self-obsessed, self-indulgent worst. Avoid it, unless you've got far to much time on your hands and want to be made thoroughly depressed, confused and miserable. br / br /And the music score has got to much jazz on it as well. br / br /
