It's long, and moves at its own pace and cadence. That said, I enjoyed it a lot. I found the stories and the characters engaging, the acting good, the direction very good. What really struck me was the finesse and lightness in the timing of the scenes. No scene ever lingered, or got stale. The movie both moved at a good clip and had a stable serenity at the same time.
If you love movies for their own sake, and not for meeting your expectations, this should be on your list. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

Read MoreI really enjoyed this movie but for different reasons than usual. I found myself intrigued by all of the different lives yet somewhat disparaged by their behavior. Ultimately, the ending of the movie had an interesting message, what one would expect from a Robert Altman film. This movie is for those who like "thinking" films.

Read MoreLike all Altman films this one rides along the envelope of the weird. Character-driven about basically ordinary people, but all of whom manage to find that pocket of weird. Whether artist or blue-collar, the characters bounce through life thrown from bumper to bumper. Finally they all tilt. Typical Altman. Long but rich film. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

I happen to like dark movies. This movie is a study on human ugliness. If you don't like dark movies, you'll hate this. A bit long and takes some effort to keep all the characters straight. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

This is not a bad movie from Rober Altman. But vievers may get confused by following the actions of different families, and their actions.
But overall it is OK movie. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

3 long wasted hours spent on this movie. We rented it based on the 4 star rating; boy was that misleading. Most of the characters are twisted, and several scenes had absolutely no point at all. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
