This was a movie I had no history of prior to viewing. I watched it out of curiosity and boredom. It was not a waste of time.
Though it begins rather vague, the story quickly picks up withen the first 20 minutes. You find yourself laughing as the movie progresses at the many different and unusual reactions of the townspeople to Julian's announcement of suicide.
Though sometimes dragging, quotes like "You can all go home! I'm not going to kill myself today!" make the movie worthwhile.
The weak-excused ending may seem frustrating, but it leaves you with a sense of awe as the credits roll and you watch for a few minutes thinking "What now?"
In my book, any movie that leaves me speechless and thinking at the end is a good one. And if you liked this, may I also suggest Gods and Monsters (1998).
