I like indie films - usually. Sometimes I wonder if the artist is really saying anything or being pretentious and rubbing our face in it. I can certainly see where students of film, artists, may find this interesting or meaningful.
I do not fall in that category. **Spolier** "Life is dirt" is one of the few lines in the whole movie and it is spoken at the very beginning.
This leads me to believe that the film is made at our expense. To sit and watch people walking for minutes, staring at paintings, drinking coffee on and on and on. In movies, seconds are minutes. I also understand some people prefer cerebral movies as opposed to Hollywood pop corn blockbusters. This artists movie may appeal to you in the way that a Campbell Soup can painting is considered art.
When this movie ended, I really only had one question. If I had paid money to see this in a theater, would I have walked out? Fortunately, I watched the DVD and had access to the FF button. Sorry to offend all of the artsy folks out there, but Limits of Control just rubs your face in it.
