I got what they were going for, but it was soooo slow and scatter-brained. There's a scene where she's at a diner and orders a pie. She just sits there and stares at the piece on her fork for what felt like 10 minutes. I was almost screaming at her to fucking eat it. If I wasn't there with a movie group, I would've walked out.

When I watched it, I missed the opening credits, so I didn't know who directed it.
About a quarter of the way, I thought....either: David Lynch has jumped the shark..or
this is the worst Lynch impression I ever saw. Think about it...background ambient noises,
unrelated shots, Scarjo with almost the same hair style as Rossalini in Blue Velvet. It
could have been so much more.
