I see a lot of movies of all types--- from art house films, indie films, to big budget action blockbuster to everything in between, and have enjoyed the most esoteric of films. Therefore, I was hopeful about this movie, even more so because of high critic ratings. I was rooting for it. After attempting to watch it, I can unequivocally say that this film was just terrible. This film tried too hard to be thought provoking, whimsical, theatrical, meaningful. I'm sure it succeeds to some, but fell completely flat for me. It showed moments of promise.. Scarlett Johansson and Grace Edwards were standouts.... but there was never a spark to set the movie off.
