Review of Been So Long

I found this so very dull. The music was really nothing memorable, not a single song through the movie caught me up or drove it's point home and the singing was naff. The story itself was pretty empty. None of the main topics were explored well enough. Her relatshionship with Raymond was all surface stuff, no indepth story about him or his prison time or his time before prison or why he still lived with his mother. A random christening and his friend's wife obviously didn't like him but no back story there either. Her sister was just all about sex and no depth about why she was the way she was. Kestrel just made a sudden appearance with no story about him either. Far too much going on and each storyline was skimmed over probably so they could throw some more hideous 'music' into the fold. Dull as dishwater and no idea how the positive reviews gave it a 10/10 meaning it is THE best film they have EVER seen.
