I've been chasing this Jim Jarmusch triptych since the New York Film Festival. I am a fan of Jarmusch and look forward to his films and in poerson appearances. I almost always find something to like about his films...that was until I ran into FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER.
I really did not like this film.. This 3 part film is dull mannered and pointless. It's three not very good short films that are not particularly well acted despite the cast. I couldn't wait for each portion to be over so that I could get to the next one because, maybe... maybe the next one would be better. They never got better.
The problem for me is that each section plays like a pretentiousEuropean art film.I have nothing against pretentiocus European art films, however at the same time I prefer Jarmusch's quirky sense of humanity, over the artistic bullshit.
Not recommended.
