Review of Results

Results (I) (2015)
3/10
Boring and confounding
31 July 2016
"Results" is one of those tedious, quirky indie flicks with no in-built audience. Worse still, I had a fear it was intended as a comedy, and IMDb confirms this. It's not enough to say that there are no laughs in the movie. There's no humour. Nothing connects as though it is supposed to be funny. It's like another recent movie, "Drinking Buddies". That too was about people talking and doing boring things together, none of it of any interest to the viewer.

You have to be careful about the word "weird" when describing something you don't like. A lot of weird movies are fascinating: most of David Lynch's or Cronenberg's repertoire, for example. "Results" and "Drinking Buddies" are not weird in themselves. It is, however, weird that their makers would expect anyone would want to watch them. Seeing a group of people enjoy this movie would be as bizarre as having a group of people stare enthralled at a hole in the wall for seven hours.
