Really impossible to tie the story from the stories told. Flat, grey, from top to toe.

Generally, I enjoy movies of this type. It seems there is usually something revelatory, insperational, heartbreaking or satisfying. This has NONE OF THAT. I feel like I just sat next to a drunk that rambles incessantly. The stories may, MAY have a somewhat interesting premise, but they go nowhere. I don't even believe the people in the stories think that they are worth telling. After the second vignette, I quit looking for substance in the storytelling and started looking for camera angles, lighting, lens choices or anything. As I am not a film student apart from the roughly 5000 movies I've seen,I kicked rocks.

This film is a number of shorts that examines different aspects of the characters' lives. I guess I never really cared for a film consisting of unconnected short stories. There are some shorts that are good, namely the first two. The first short has a plot that is bound to connect with the viewers. The third and fourth shorts don't really connect with me, and the remainder are just rather plain. There are loads of stars, but they seem underused. After watching the film, I don't think I really got anything out of it.

Actually i felt a bit bored, that i discoverd i'd love to watch a film based on a novel or long senario more than short stories. But I liked the idea of giving just a brief, or capturing a situation, hard one, from someone's life that shows the suffering, struggles and hardness of the human beings lifes. It's okay.

Each story isn't exactly what you're expecting in the nicest way.

Nothing to mention that would be worth it. Perhaps if the segments were longer they might have been able to convey something of purpose.
