An Insufferable Wait... For something to happen, that is. Summary: Young man is lost and lifeless -- meets neurotic yet beautiful and funny young woman -- tells his very sad story to her -- they go on a wild-goose errand -- he learns to love. There is no plot to speak of, and certainly no twists. There are only one or two good scenes in this movie: the one where we find out WHY the young man is so lost, and the scene where he stands up to his father. Other than that, there is NO drama at all in this film. It is a pageant of absurdity and sadness. It is probably the most depressing comedy I've ever seen. It angers me that there are people sad enough to like it. It "speaks" to you? Just how sad ARE you? Feel better now you've seen someone in a movie who has REALLY suffered? Good for you. I give it two stars because the cinematography and acting is good. But since the main character does virtually nothing throughout the film but let stuff happen to him, I must call this film terrible art. The film is a cinematographic song for the alienated, lifeless, pointless, lonely Gen Y horde. It ends with SOME sense of value (i.e. love), but this struck me as an afterthought which cannot save the film from its depressing, existential, meaningless (and consequently pretentious) core.
