I checked some 10 star reviews.
"oh the xxxxx is so amazing! best movie ever!"
"it's so deep! so much meaning! wow!"
i feel the need to counter this :) what is the actual plot like? (spoiler free) 1) a cliché relationship drama on one level, nothing special to see here. could have been a soap opera episode. sure, it's a different style, the setting is unusual, but only on a superficial or "artsy" level. the exact setup adds nothing to the plot. the little details (the main characters sleeping habits for example) don't lead anywhere. many elements could be removed and nothing would change. 2) on the second level, a crime takes place and someone takes revenge. there is no depth to the characters with a single exception. the scenario doesn't make sense, nobody would act like the characters did here. they simply cannot exist in the real world as they are portrayed in the movie. there is nothing interesting, no twist, no surprise. everything is exactly what it seemed to be. none of them has a backstory (except one). they all just exist and follow the script so that the plot can happen.
