Review of Henry Fool

Henry Fool (1997)
4/10
One slow, barely-watchable film
16 January 1999
I wanted to like this film, but I found it unbearable. Hard to believe it's about 137 minutes - it felt longer than Titanic. It took a real effort to make it to the end. A reviewer quoted on the video box called it "Hilarious!" One outrageous bathroom scene does not make a moody, brooding, pretentious, glacially-paced film "hilarious." If Henry Fool is so much as a dark comedy, then I suppose Shindler's List must be, too.
