Dieses Gefühl, dass die Zeit, etwas zu tun, vorbei ist

What do we learn about the character from this film that we didn't know before? Not sure, except to say that she's moving through life not sensing like she's finding what she wants or is looking for. I'm not sure I've seen a sex comedy that was exclusively about sexual need and lack of fulfillment.

Joanna Arnow writes, directs, and stars in this. She's also frequently naked. Considering the description above you should understand the nudity is likely not present for titillation but to show the character putting herself out there for partners who don't anywhere near as vulnerable. The movie is about her dissatisfaction with everything despite her best efforts to change some things.

In that sense, I think it will be relatable to many. The fact it's not flashy and the performances are entirely of the natural, or subtle deadpan variety means it won't appeal to many. I found it quite funny but it took me some time to get a handle on her style which is described as 'mosaic' although I would have described them as a series of sketches as opposed to a linear narrative. I look forward to seeing more from Arnow if she continues to make movies.

I was struck with the idea of this film from the moment I saw the ads for it via the Florida Film Festival. I was drawn in by the deadpanned comedic chemistry that was equal parts candid as it was daring. Joanna Arnow (the powerhouse whom wrote, directed, and starred in this film) pulls off all blinders to the core themes of this film: sexuality, emotional pining, complacency, honest candor, and a feeling that can only be truly described with the film's apt title.

From beginning to end, we explore only as much of our protagonist Ana's psyche that she allows us to see. Guarded, yet open, her interactions with those around her paint a portrait of indecision and a trajectory of her life that is in one way ambiguous, but also free. The comedic stylings are delivered in a way that isn't over the top, relying of smart dryness and offbeat humor - a refreshing element to a story like this.

At this film's core, we are given a person to observe, and not necessary one do applaud or boo. Her choices, relationships, and actions happen in a way that we can empathize with, even if her character who is one in no need of it. Even so, with this film's gut-punch conclusion, you find yourself deciding what you want for her. This is a stark reminder that we are not meant to predict or encourage any of her behaviors and hope for any specific outcome, and that what transpired in this story is deeply personal but inevitable and fated.

I don't think I've seen a film like this one, and I don't think I ever will again. It's hard to accurately describe the emotions I felt during this film. It is expertly crafted and full of the quiet vigor of a story begging to be absorbed and understood completely.

From the second the fil starts to the closing credits, you'll laugh so hard you'll have a hard time catching your breath. It's just non-stop action, one-liners, and zingers coming at you. DUCK! Here comes another one! Wow! What an amazing movie-going experience!

Okay, I lied. In reality, I had to qquit this dreadful film after about 30 minutes. It was going absolutely no where. I think a better title for the film would be: "The feeling that something is going to actually happen has passed." Yes, it's that boring. Naturaly Rotten Tomatoes gave it a high rating. Something like an 86. But that was the critic's rating. The viewer rating was in the mid 20s. Trust the viewer's rating on this one. It reminded me of a film by that Greek fella where absolutely nothing happens for hours on end.

If you need something to put you to seep, forget the Melanonin or the Z-Quil. Just put this movie on and you'll be fast asleep in no time flat!

The worst movie I've seen in years! There wasn't a single character I cared about at all. The script is almost non-existent. There are many, many, minutes of silence with no real activity on screen. Everyone in this movie seemed like they were ill, half asleep or just had totally boring. Nobody & nothing made any actual sense.

Not sure what equipment they used to make this movie but I've seen better video quality taken with a cellphone. And there was often obnoxious background noise. Not natural but maybe camera noise? Terrible.

The BDSM was more about strange relationships than actual BDSM. I know enough that It's usually not the submissive that tells the Master what they want. It was more just the main character wanting someone to be assertive in sex. The sex scenes here are not even softcore BTW.

Then there's the dialogue. An example is the Mother says: It's getting dark and it's 7:30. Ann says: Yes, I know. Mother: Tomorrow it will be 7:29. That's an entire scene. Hopefully no one was paid for writing this.

Nothing was funny. Nothing was dramatic. Nothing was exciting. Nothing was interesting. Movies like this one is why IMDB should allow Zero stars out of ten. One is too generous.

This has been the worst movie I've seen so far. The camera work, the offbeat deadbeat delivery trying to be quirky, the lighting, nothing seems to fit.

The movie tries to convey how boring and dull life can be, and I guess I can see that, but the writing is very on the nose about it.

The acting kills me. People go to school for acting, and yet I see this film, where people talk like six graders so the viewer understands every word.

And then the mundane nonexistent storyline about a mundane life with weird nude scenes. It just finalizes this piece to something I'll definitely steer clear of. I'll probably won't give this director another shot, I'm sorry, you missed!

My advice: don't watch it!

P. S.: Apart from what Lena Dunham said or did in public, 'Girls' was a great show and this movie seemed like it tried so hard to copy that.
