This entry from Australia initiated that classic Second Inning Sneak, where almost half of the 2012 Seattle International Film Festival audience slowly and quietly exited the theater. I stuck it out to the bloody end, but only because I was filling my notepad with pejoratives that I now realize I can't use in a PG-13 review.
What set me off (that I can print!):
- Unattractive people doing unattractive things to other unattractive people.
- Drug use. (This supposedly is semi-autobiographical!)
- Bewildering (and extended!) use of unintelligible light and sound.
- Teeth: false teeth, missing teeth, dirty teeth.
- Tattoos, each lovingly presented with its history.
- Grisly scenes of torture and murder.
- Dirty scraggly hair; in their mouths during sex, over their eyes and sometimes floating overhead....
