Ally - I'm a fan of simple movies and movies with hardly any plot. I also just really like Sofia Coppola's style. However, this movie didn't really impress me as much as I'd hoped. I found myself pretty bored and lethargic through most of it, basically mimicking the characters themselves. Maybe that's what was supposed to happen. This film was mostly shots of boredom, laziness, a middle aged man living an empty life, with a lot of shots of contemplation/depression. That in itself isn't necessarily bad, but I didn't get very much substance from it until the end. The most interesting part to me was the moments where the main characters friend (played by Chris Pontius) was interacting with his daughter (Elle Fanning). There was something about how they joked around that I liked watching. Overall, I wouldn't say this movie was a must see. But if you want to feel kinda melancholy about everything for 1h 37m, give it a shot!
6.8/10
