I tried to get into this movie. I gave up halfway through. It has got to be the most uninteresting film I've seen in a long time. Frenetic, disjointed, and irritating. I doubt that I would have felt differently had I watched it until the end. I'm surprised that it won so many Oscars. Critics have raved about it and usually there is a glimmer of truth in what they report. Not for this movie, at least not for me. The opening scenes were fine, and I wish the movie could have continued along in that manner. But it moved into bizarre territory and stayed there. Bizarre can be ok, but in this movie, it wasn't. I couldn't make sense of most of what happened nor did I care to. I agree with other users here who said that there are better films to watch if one wants to find out what life may have been like if one had made different life choices.
