    Incredible. Can't wait.

    For those who want a synopsis:

    A young filmmaker gets wrapped up in a crime while shooting his new project on location.

    The first ever IMDB review is one of those particularly negative (2/10) reviews that somehow transpires into something far more revealing and alluring than any positive review could ever attempt intentionally.

    this torpid, nearly incomprehensible muddle of a story about a young director making a low-budget film merely leaves one confused and numb.
    A good deal of the blame goes to the editor, who allows scenes to meander a half a minute or more after they've effectively ended. (...) complete with such snore-inducing moments as the main actress staring at a blow dryer for what seemed an eternity.
    But wouldn't it have been wonderful if this revered auteur could have -- for once -- created something that others could appreciate, too, perhaps even understand and enjoy... a picture with interesting characters and a story worth telling...
    And not a totally awful written review either. Just really bad taste (The Last Samurai gets a 8/10 btw). All those above things are fucking awesome, are they not?
