A.K.: When I die, I'm going to go straight to Heaven. And you are going to ask me why. Did I pray enough, no. did I share enough? Not really. Was I humble enough, definantly not. So what makes you so sure you're going straight to Heaven you ask. And I will tell you, because, I told the truth. more

Godawful, Trite and a waste of celluloid, 14 February 2008
1/10
Author: adamcool from United Kingdom

Saw this at the Berlinale. All I can say is it's an insufferable mess. Dreadful acting and a script so full of crass banalities that it almost collapses under its own dreadfulness.

One to miss.

The Material One says she's thinking of releasing this on the internet - small wonder. I doubt there's a distributor anywhere that would touch this appalling car-crash of a movie. The music is quite fun, to be fair and there is a lot of it (probably because there's really not much else - perhaps she should think about directing a rockumentary next time). The dialogue is full of pretentious, meaningless attempts at 'insight'. Sadly, you'd get more insight looking at an unwashed pair of underpants.
