Frustratingly Incompetent
27 July 2023
I wanted to like this movie because it's heart is in the right place...but, holy cow, the direction and EDITING of this film is so horrible I had to stop watching the film. It's really that bad.

20 years to make this and the guy couldn't find an competent editor to help give the scenes some sort of storytelling cohesion?

It's just ADHD addled all the way through. I've never experienced a film release like this having such an important aspect of the production be such a complete failure.

I'm looking at you Alian Clark Blair. I don't know what was going on behind the scenes, if you were just following orders, or if you're simply self-taught but never really learned how to actually do the thing.

Maybe all of the above?

The fact the director let this hot mess out of the gate, even after twenty years just tells me the sweet story of "oh, he finally got it done and the market is finally ready to accept it" just isn't the case.

It's languished because it's just not that good and borderline unwatchable.
