Review of Look at Me

Look at Me (2004)
1/10
Disappointing Narcissicm
7 May 2005
Does the emperor wear no clothes? As soon as the movie started, I knew I had been had. After doing my homework by reading almost every review in every national newspaper, and most user comments on IMDb.com, I concluded this should be a good movie. There was nary a unkind word said about it. There is a type of French movie, usually raved about, that lacks drama, conflict, humor, or characters you can identify with. After two unbelievably long tortuous hours, I discovered this movie is two hours too long. It was as if the reviewers were praising the previous works of the directors and writers. If comparisons were made to Woody Allen's movies they are right. It resembles his last four movies, all of which bombed and as the French say, was chiant! Maybe I am the only one on earth who disliked this film, but if I were you, I would avoid it. My wife agreed with me, although I have to admit she slept through most of it.
