I liked this film but I wanted more puffy chair. More pound for your puff, if you will. The chair is in effect a character in this film. It's puffy and cool, and I wanted way more of it. Most, if not all, of this film is improvisational dialogue. I would bet on it. Some of it works, some doesn't, often times it calls attention to itself, that's not cool, but the chair is a silent character and he speaks for himself. Yes, I think the chair is a "he." The chair is the glue that holds the film together. The chair is the raison d'etre for the road trip. I craved more scenes with the chair. The scenes wouldn't have to be much, just some occasional short scenes with the chair to chart his progress. It would help. Thank you.

I'm sorry, I tried so hard to like this film. I came to it with great expectations and recommendations. I couldn't make it past the 20 minute mark. Where is the compelling story that makes one want to continue watching? Who is the main character and what does he/she want? What is standing in his/her way? If you don't have one in the first 15 pages of your script, then you ain't got not there. It's all mood, mood, mood which spells doom, doom, doom. It seems to want to live by the soundtrack alone, as if that can take the place of story. Okay, many of you will say, but you didn't watch the entire film. All I can say is, the film failed to make me!
