| Someone made a movie of their teen-aged dreams. This movie is purely sex (literally) and rock and roll. In my best effort - I try to see the beauty of this short film, but I don’t understand why the writer and director Michael Winterbottom, didn’t just make a calm and beautiful porno (essentially thats what this is). As I read reviews I see that some see it as the simple beauty between a young, careless, obsessed with sex couple. But, as great and simple as that can be, I can’t get over the lack of story (which those who love the movie rave over it being such an important film: its so different from what we would see in a character-driven movie). Without those deeper connections, I think it is a very non-memorable movie, and for the slight ounce of character we saw in the male “Matt,” its pretty sad. I think Winterbottom had some bit of good intentions, but mostly just wanted to see if he could get away with it. |  |
