The Waiter

This movie imay bore you to death if looking for daily dose of media painkillers. The story is plain. Acting is restrictive. Pace is slow.

This is a zen story in images. It will force you to face yourself. It will remind you about your quest. It offers you a way out without loosing your integrity.

No pun intended of course! And a movie that is about waiting - another pun? I guess so - but that aside the movie does move as slow as one may imagine (fear). Pacing wise this is something you have to accept it for what it is - the main character seems to have quite the boring life. Until there seems to be a new interesting neighbor.

If you have the patience to stick with the movie and the characters, there is an interesting movie - and some interesting beats to absorb. He may be lethargic or not - the question is if you can stick with him and the movie. So suspend your disbelief and go with the flow.

The waiter - well folks - that was me - waiting through endless twenty second pauses of nothing happening - waiting for somebody to say SOMETHING - waiting for any back story whatsoever - waiting for some explanation of the dynamics of the relationships - waiting to find out why any of these people tolerated each other - or even attracted each other. Waiting to find out what on earth the quarrelling couple in the restaurant had to do with anything - or why there was a long lingering shot of the male towards the end.

Waiting to find out why this film was ever made.

It had nothing to say and the end was totally predictable. I am sorry for the people who paid good money to view this in a cinema.

Two male and one female.

All of them are thourough, focused and "not very good with other people".

Still, they're totally different.

Watch and learn how different people can be, even from narrowing them down as autistic.

The filmography/photography was the star in this movie. The acting of the two male leads was very good, but the female lead only had two expressions on her face during the entire film:slightly shocked or somewhat afraid. The plot wasn't particularly interesting either and all the characters were 2-dimensional, including The Waiter. I think if we'd learned more about what made him tick, the reasons behind his actions, this would be a much more interesting movie, because as it was it lacked depth.
