    Do you think anyone that doesn't like it is a "Hater"?

    Show me where I said anyone who dislikes it is a hater. Panchy gave a substantive reason for not liking the film and I respect his points of view but you can't believe how sick I am of reading negative reviews on IMDB where people are nitpicking films on things like being too fake or as you say, pretentious. I just don't think things like that can be fairly held against a film because in all honesty, that is your interpretation. If you can show me where either the writer or director stated they were making a pretentious film then I could accept that. If not then I think your critique needs to show you have issues with things like the story, acting, pacing, directing, or something that the people involved failed at. Critquing a film on the basis that its too fake is unfair. Critiquing it for being pretentious is nitpicking and to me sounds like something a person looking for something to dislike about it would say.

    1) Are you serious with this sentence? The whole idea of reviewing or critiquing a work of art is PERSONAL INTERPRETATION

    2) Well, that is YOUR Interpretation

    I prefer to blame it on a chemical imbalance.
