       Quirky is the word for this film and most reviewers use it. I’m fine with quirky films if they don’t try too hard. Is this one trying too hard? I think so. Is it good anyway? I don’t know. The characters are all pathetic, unhappy, love-starved, lonely. There are a lot of them, and they’re only loosely connected.

       I feel likeshould like it but I’m having trouble with that. It’s just depressing and I can’t do depressing this evening. But I will probably watch it again when I’m up to it.
