this movie is pretty bad, i largely agree with n/a. and the main reason it's bad besides being kinda shrill and unlikeable throughout is that it's at LEAST 45 minutes too long. it really really overstays its welcome.

Nah, despite the rotten script, Keaton and the Jack take it over midstream and make it quite touching. (re-view when you're over 55) Unfortunately there's a seen-from-the-horizon Parisian climax and a nauseating feelgood coda.

"Pretty bad" is reserved for making Odets an unfunny joke loaded with portentous sub-Lynchian non-meaning.

i haven't read the thread, but to me it was weirdly like 'gaspar noe does barton fink' -- can't put my finger on why.
