    This is one of the worst films I've ever ever ever watch!! Please don't by this its 99p for a reason! The main character is the most boring person on the planet! And the words you don't speak any Spanish will haunt you for life

    This has to be the most stylish and impeccably shot film I have had the pleasure of watching, so much care and attention has been lavished on every scene. It feels like a classic movie from another generation in this sense. However, Jarmusch the artist has triumphed over Jarmusch the story teller, which is a shame. Jarmusch has proven in the past that he can tell a wonderful story, but here, the abstract nature takes over. There are threads that tie together, but it is left to the viewer to do all the work, and I am not entirely sure if it is worth it. The visual and aural style lead to a dream like world, and this is hinted at a few times through the film, things do not apppear rooted in reality. Overall, this is a stunning bit of film making, but it is perhaps not the film I was hoping to see.

    I really liked this film. I don't think it is for everyone but it is something a little different that really does challenge the usual stale movie formula. It is quite a slow moving film but not in a bad way, I felt completely engrossed through the whole movie. The soundtrack is especially good in this. Jarmusch's films have always had a great match of music to imagery. I liked the music so much I went straight out and bought the soundtrack and have had it constantly on in the backgroung while i'm painting or drawing. If you like Jim Jarmusch's previous films then you will love this. If you like films that challenge the usual mould of general cimema then you will like this too. Its a great story that while you are watching you feel transported into this world and become attached to this main character even though he doesn't say much or do much. I am not great with words or reviews but I highly recommend this if you want something a liitle different to the norm and are willing just to sit back, relax and enjoy the story.
