Chris Mohr Spare Rib Sep 20, 2021
Deliberately severing connections which might explain too much, the film's only structure is a rhythmic, nervous alternation between past and present, memory and reality, fantasy and experience, hope and fear. Go to Full Review

The fact of the matter is that [Henry] Jaglom has come up with a minor classic of sorts, but not one that can be appreciated effortlessly. Go to Full Review

Laurence B @RT91468060 Aug 14, 2024 The film is entirely confusing. I listened to the director's commentary and it was pretty clear that even he doesn't know how his images connect. It is pretentious and created by a director who thought structuring a film around his own emotions instead of a narrative would be a swell idea.

See more Sep 1, 2015 I have no doubt that there is an audience for this sort of film, however I am not part of this audience. I was bored to tears (the tears erupting by consistent yawning). Tuesday Weld was the only reason to keep the disc spinning even though the words she was saying could have been untranslated Russian. Speaking of Russian, Orson Welles' accent is painful. This is the low point of the boxed set. See more Aug 20, 2014 So, what was all that about? See more May 16, 2014 This movie just could not draw me in. It was disjointed, confusing, and honestly just boring. I'm sure there was something they wanted to get across, but they failed.
