That blog post title is deceiving, because I can't give a real review for the movie Disintegration, since I only watched the first ten minutes. But in those 10 minutes, I did observe the following:

Bad acting...

Bad direction...

Bad production...

Bad sound... (including bad ADR, bad Foley and bad music/dialog levels...IE: Bad Sound)

Bad lighting...

And absolutely NO sense of timing.

I can't tell you much about the plot, because I couldn't finish the movie. In fact, I couldn't make it past the first 10 minutes of ridiculous, complicated relationship backstory, narrated (yes, NARRATED) by someone who sounded like they were from the cast of Fargo. Really, if the backstory is that complex, then you need to show it onscreen somehow. Work it into the story. Flashback. Dream sequence. Conversation between characters. Something. But for the Lamb Of God, would you please not try to force us to sit through ten minutes of fucking Norwegian narration, rattling off names and relationships as though you were at a High-Schools 5-year Reunion?

I scrolled through the rest of the movie at high-speed, and still couldn't finish it. A bunch of talking heads. Shoulda been a graphic novel instead, and it only would have taken a half-dozen pictures cut-n-pasted over and over. It could have come with a diagram of relationships and family trees, that would have saved all the overdubbed relations/narration...

If I had to rate this movie based off what I saw of it, I'd have to give it a 1 out of 10. The only thing keeping it from a solid "0" would be that I didn't hear any Emo or Country music in the score/soundtrack.

Roger McLeod, you should Watch some movies first, before you go trying to make one yourself...
