Love Machine

Gruesome! And because the site doesn't let me submit a review containing just 1 word, even though "gruesome" was all that came to mind, I'll add AWFUL! Just awful!

The problem is neither the wanting acting, schizophrenic cinematography, exorbitant overuse of sexual imagery, nor the writer/director/actor's grossly inflated self-admiration; it is that collectively, there is maybe 10 minutes of anything remotely coherent to a story being told.

There isn't much of a movie here. It's yet another vanity project by a man who has compared himself to the likes of Spielberg, Kubrick and Godard without ever producing anything that approaches those three in terms of quality.

It's not a particularly clever story (as much as there is one to begin with), it's not particularly interestingly shot, it doesn't seem to have much of a message to tell. There's just nothing here beyond a balding middle-aged director yelling "Hey! Look at how great I am!" for 80 minutes straight., and pretending that's somehow deep and controversial.

But hey, the girls are pretty. That's something, I guess.
