Straddles the line between so bad it's good and just plain bad. Terribly acted, pretentious and pointless one can do little else but laugh at the terrible writing.

Brilliant. I think one may need to be a creative artists of some kind to completely understand the power of his metaphor (or, depending on where you live and what you do, it may not be as much a metaphor as actual everyday life).

Rated 05 Oct 2023

Distilled to the essence of the idea, Hartley explores the insecurity of desire--wanting something is always a recognition that you don't have it, which in turn leads to doubts about whether you can have it.
