Review of Tabu

Tabu (I) (2012)
2/10
A true test of patience
4 June 2013
The entire movie delivers a constant flat beat or the pulse of a corpse is an even better comparison. There is no emotional attachment to any of the characters, no suspense, no drama, no climax, no pay off and the dialogue is largely bland and generic. Akin to watching a bunch of retirees in some old nursing home reminiscing to their grandchildren about their past lives which no one really wants to hear about. I've seen a lot of ordinary movies in my time, but this has to be in the top 5 of the worst. I was more impressed with my level of patience in sitting though the entire thing than with anything that was appeasing about the movie itself.
