The longest & the worst of the films screened at the Hammer Museum June 15, 2005 was a movie that sounds like a student art film called "Architecture of Reassurance". Let's make it a little more obvious shall we? This film goes on and on. People clapped when it was over only for that reason, as I heard a lot of mockery throughout the picture and negative comments all around me. This is a boring boring film. Did we really need to have the super slow-mo shot of her running at the end? Was there any major artistic purpose to using documentary cutting in the film? Was there any major drive to the character? She wasn't likable (sort of a brat actually) and the entire feeling was like a bad LSD trip.
The ending particularly bothered me since it spelled out everything for the girl (and us) when they say maybe she's not for this world, you'll never fit in, etc. Really? You think that's sort of obvious by the fact she's a floater and has no friends or any goal in this bloated long film.
Yes the shots were nice and it had a moment of humor (he cuts our lawn line about the fake neighbor) but I've seen a lot of student films which amount to basically the same thing and some that do it better. Nothing is engaging here or makes you want to watch. I would definitely warn people to do something better with their time than watch another in a long line of crappy art films with nothing new to say.
2/10
