Just, awful. The only reason I made it to the end is that I thought there must be some piece that slots into place to make the film work on some level; but it was just indulgent formless slop. I'm not sure I've ever been as disappointed in a movie; that this won an Oscar is baffling and is a serious indictment to the state of Hollywood

I had heard this movie had won awards and was looking forward to seeing it. I hadn't read the movie blurb so had absolutely no idea what it was about. To be honest I was disappointed. I just cannot see what the fuss is all about. It was a bit weird. No, it was a whole lot weird. I think I need to stay away from award winning films with a lot of hype as ultimately I end up disappointed. The emporers new clothes methinks.

Very Overrated. Its weird to the point its disgusting if you have seen the movie you will understand what I'm talking about. Don't believe the hype or high rated reviews it's very underwhelming and Overrated. Turned out to be just a generic forbidden love story with a happy ending I guess.. Boring and weird.
