I watched this movie yesterday and have to say it was a struggle to sit through almost two hours of mind-numbing action, if you can call it that.
In a nutshell, a guy invites his fiancée to a bucks' night (along with another girl so she doesn't feel too alone); during this time, with the booze and pills flowing freely, uncomfortable 'secrets' emerge as the participants snipe at one another (when it gets heavy, they fight physically). I came away not quite understanding what their issues were - partly because they often mumbled, their dialogue often seemed meaningless, not to mention their drug-induced hallucinations.
The movie's aim is to reveal the toxic relationship of the engaged couple, but the only thing I deduced was that she was super needy and hoping to get a permanent visa through marriage. The other characters are dislikeable, unattractive, loud-mouthed (when they aren't mumbling) and often rambling on about stuff that doesn't seem to have a bearing on the plot - such as it is.
The music is dreadful, often drowning out the conversation. The plot is all over the shop, fluctuating between scenes of boys being boys, or couples fighting, and verbal attacks coming from nowhere with no apparent reason. And then of course the hallucinatory scenes.
At the end, we aren't quite sure what has transpired and the end result, because everyone is being incomprehensible and moody. As for the title, does anyone know what the significance is? There is a scene with birds in the first half, but that doesn't give a clue.
To sum up, one star - because it ends, eventually.
