This movie is just way too artsy to be watched all the way through. I only got through 20 minutes before wanting to watch something else. James Franco acting mentally handicapped is just too much to handle, and all the child whispering. I read the book in college and was looking forward to getting reminded what the story was about, but the book is artsy, and difficult to read, and a movie about it is never going to be understood. I'm of huge fan of Franco, but, this movie should not have been made.
