Ok. This movie sucked as bad as a movie can suck. Seriously. Horrible. That isn't the surprising part. I googled its movie reviews. The critics gushed over it. It was like reading a pamphlet on pretentiousness.

It's like the reviewers wrote the review without watching the steaming pile of everything bad about movies that was this movie. Poor script, purposely bad acting, bad dialogue. It even had John C Reilly faking a bad lisp. Why? Who the fuck knows.

I agree. It was pretty lack luster.

Waiting for someone to come along and say it was "art" and we just don't get it. Good Lord was that a horrible movie.

You forgot to mention how depressing it was.

Good, I'm not crazy. You read the reviews and it actually talks about how this is the foreign director's best movie to date. Which makes me think his other movies are suicide inducing.

Worst movie of all time? Its on the short list.

I found it quirky enough to be amusing, until I didn't. The last 1/3 of the movie was like watching a train wreck and it took a full week to purge that movie from my head.

I like Ariane Labed - who played the maid. She was first in 3 of Athina Rachel Tsangari's films (Alps, Attenberg, The Capsule), and in Linklater's Before Midnight. She's one of the reasons I saw it for a second time (at the theater). And Lea Seydoux; The Grand Budapest Hotel, Diary of a Chambermaid, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Inglourious Basterds, most recognizable in Blue Is the Warmest Colour. You're right, you'all'd hate Dogtooth, his (Yorgos Lanthimos) best known film, or Alps.

I've come to realize that a critic's review is only as good as how much I agree with their past reviews - how their track record agrees with mine. Taking an unknown to you critic and comparing their write up with your experience makes about as much sense as walking into a restaurant and asking some random person how's the food?

Took me awhile to remember I saw the movie. That tells me it was forgettable.
