This movie is a disaster. There is not one single memorable performance by the cast of "stars". They walk through this movie like they are having a boil removed.
If you want to see a little boy happily running to school, get hit by a car, walk home injured and die, have at it. Criterion should be ashamed.
Of course there is the requisite sad sack waitress, a drunken husband, and a philandering cop. All starkly uninteresting characters. Oh yea, the cop takes the family dog and deposits him on the other side of town because he is tired of the barking and then gets the hots for a clown. This is reality? A former husband cuts up everything in his ex's house while a door to door salesman shampoos the rugs. More reality? Wow. This is the worst movie I have seen in years.
