Italian Studies

It's peculiar. It's aimless. It's awkward. And it's fake. I remember it was in either 3rd or 4th grade my teacher pulled out the projector and showed the class a movie. It was about a boy walking around where he met a dog, and some other kids. There were times he was alone, there was a stream, a rainstorm, and he met a little girl who he held hands with. When the lights came on I looked around the room. Little Jimmy was asleep. The other kids looked just as confused as I was. I remember asking my teacher what it was all about. She responded: "It's meant to make you think." As I sit here now there can be no doubt whoever put this together saw that same film.

I think the ending was meant to be some kind of big shocker. It explained why the movie was the way it was but I wouldn't recommend watching it, with such a good idea they could have done a lot more.

It's one of those "Art Films" us New Yorkers catch at posh theatres like the IFC Center. It was the middle of the day and I wanted to see a movie, and this was a movie I had not seen yet, but I tell you, this was not the movie to see in the middle of the day when you have nothing to do.

Ironically, I wanted to waste some time and I did it on a movie that was a waste of time.

If I came out of this feeling like this was the worse movie I ever saw, then that would have been something, and obviously I did not come out of this thinking it was good, but this movie did the worse thing I think a movie could have done: waste my time.

I was bored, so bored. I could not believe this movie was only 80 mins, it felt like an entirely waiting for something to happen. Vanessa Kirby is no Margot Robbie. In all fairness maybe I can watch Kirby do nothing in a film if the film is right. Kirby tries and you can see her charm, but that was not enough. It's possible Robbie would have bored me to death in the same role.

I am more of a low budget B-movie type than an indi art house type so maybe that goes with it. I certainly admit I did not understand the plot well enough to even describe it here. That could just be me, but I've seen enough Art Films to know that's most likely not the case.

Sometimes it just doesn't click, and this is one of those times.

The movie did have a style and the movie did have some performances but i just didn't care at all, not only the person but the story and all of that, i just didn't care, at in the end Italian Studies is just a waste of time especially when the movie was less than 80 minutes, it's boring and it feels so long and that's because i did not invest or care about anything inside the movie.

I cannot understand some people's idea of film making and their point or storyline. This is slow, confused, boring, and to a greater extent, senseless!

If it wasn't for the lead actress this film would never have seen the light of day.
