It didn't feel honest at all... it just felt like "look at me, look at what I've gone through and how rough I've got it... oh, also take a look at my acting skills".

Oh come on

it's so true though.  it's not a very well made movie by too many standards.  seriously, check out mvoies by jon jost or joe gibbons or even capturing the friedmans for some good experimental videos or some good video diaries.  it's not well-crafted and it's not genuine.  what is it there to like about this movie?  I have pity for it, which is like the opposite of admiration.

Yeah. I like this movie less the more I think about it.

It gave me this constant unsettling feeling throughout that I continuously tried to reject... the feeling that something big is missing...

And the titles don't help. Really, anyone who wants to win an argument against this movie, just mention the titles.

That said, Jonathan Caouette has some very good ideas and I'm sure he'll make great movies when he gains some distance/maturity.
