Query: Amateurish and disappointing

I'm utterly surprised that there are so many reviews praising this film for its depth and impact. I thought it was deeply flawed, and its problems were too great to be overcome by a flimsy plot or hit-and-miss acting. It's obviously a "first film" in the sense that Sophia Coppola makes typical beginner mistakes and seems a little too captivated with adding in interesting shots at the expense of pacing and story. It's not the worst film ever, but it left me feeling annoyed and disappointed. The story gets boring in parts, and is totally obscure and silly at others. Beautiful actors and artistic camera work cannot carry a film. I do not recommend buying the DVD. Rent it maybe, but don't buy it.
