Broken Flowers

Posted by on August 14 at 18:26 PM

Having just seen the latest Jim Jarmusch movie, Broken Flowers, I have to agree with Brad that the movie is painfully slow and pointless. While there are a couple good one-liners (both visually and in the dialog) the movie goes nowhere, much like most of Coffee and Cigarettes. The worst thing, though, is that Bill Murray has been stuck in repeat with his last couple film roles as the stoic depressive who says little but allows those sad eyes to say it all…and the problem is we’ve heard it all before from him. Murray’s such a great actor that a little more character variety would be a very good thing.
