Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

isobelpoe This movie is not a traditional hero conquers oppressive forces finds love with an out of his league chic then acquires instant fame flick.From the beginning, seeing the main character, Franklin Franklin, how he dresses- various wigs and tight white under drawers (which is pretty much how I imagine all bloggers, except me, dress at home), it is clear that this movie is quite different.75% of the film has the main character in those tight white under drawers. Not long after the opening credits, he has to dispose of a body, gets tricked by a mean teenage girl, and keeps blowing on an alp-horn when he needs to check out for a bit.There are many interesting aspects to this film, not the least of which is the fact that it is based on the winning novel of a three day novel writing contest.The performances of Matt Lucas, James Caan and the especially lovely toned-down Billy Crystal make this an extremely worth while watch or even a keeper.

Chase Myers I went into watching this movie expecting another indie drama with a big ensemble cast and just enough quirk to be cool with the hipsters. Turns out, this is probably one of the best movies I've seen in years. The plot revolves around Franklin Franklin, a bizarre man living alone in well, a small apartment, and his interactions and excursion with his various neighbors. I completely understand the negative reviews from critics, because the movie isn't perfect, There is some bizarre writing and story choices that might not bode well with audiences, but I honestly think that this movie is, in a way, a masterpiece. The characters all start off weird and somewhat repulsive, but as the movie progresses you begin understanding them and you begin to feel for them. There is rarely a movie that made me feel as much for the characters as I did in this movie. The reason for that is that the acting was fantastic, everyone played their character greatly, and there were little to no weaker parts to the performances. To wrap up, I highly recommend it if you can deal with some weird and bizarre, It's all worth it in the end.

punishmentpark Great colors, great photography, good, but weird characters and 'uneventful events' mixed with a sort of separation-melancholia that is well-known to dwell in many apartment complexes. Yes, though I wasn't feeling lyrical about it, I was having good fun with this 'Small Apartments' and its inhabitants and visitors. It could have done with a little more edge and a little less melancholy perhaps. But then there's the ending which takes place while the dead character Bernard Franklin speaks to us by a tape that is labeled 'the answer'... I didn't like his 'enlightened' monologue one bit, as it is far too submissive to the powers that should not be, as it were. I tried to appreciate the sympathetic gist of it, but combined with the apathetic returns or freshly acquired states of the surviving characters (Franklin Franklin travels to a far away country with plenty of cash and tits - hooray!?), I failed to reach their destinations with them.Up until that ending I would have certainly deemed it worth a good 7 out of 10, now I can't go higher than a (big) 5.

harveer chauhan This movie is weird and disturbing movie when it starts but by the end it proves true to the purpose it is intended to have. The lives of the residents of an apartment building change when the owner is accidentally killed by one of the inhabitant. It take a while to get the hang of the pulse of the movie and it requires a lot of patience. The main protagonist is a loner and a voyeur who misses his ill(mentally) brother from whom he gets his taped messages. Meanwhile he is trying to dispose off the dead body of the owner. You do not fall in love with its characters or empathize with them but it definitely scares you to see their lives and you pray not to end up like them. But there are few moments when you feel sad for the people portrayed who are stuck in their little world and have distant hopes of escape from it. This movie forces you to confront or at least acknowledge the alienation,apathy,and surrender of some in the modern society who live on it fringe with little expectation of any worthwhile impact on anyone's life other than their own. But still it leaves you with a nice little message about forgiveness , family and the meaning of a well lived life.You are not going to this movie for long but it's decently directed eerie movie for a select few who are patient enough to take a lesson home.PS: Watch at your own risk.Either you will hate it or you will applaud the efforts for such a real depiction of lives in small apartments!
