This film is art
The actors were giving their all to portray these messed up characters totally devoid of glamour. The subject matter of Joe's sexual deviance is I think accurately portrayed. For those who thought the movie was boring they must have been expecting typical mainstream nonsense that is so prevalent nowadays.
While not a masterpiece, this movie is certainly one for all cinephiles to add to their collection the way a curator of an art museum collects art pieces.
My rating 8/10
