Despite being very plauding and somewhat unengaging this film is incredible. Not for most-and if one goes in with any need for help from the filmmaker to make sense of this movie than forget it, because Soderbergh is not helping you. This is Despite being very plauding and somewhat unengaging this film is incredible. Not for most-and if one goes in with any need for help from the filmmaker to make sense of this movie than forget it, because Soderbergh is not helping you. This is life filmed. Everything about it rings true. When I say true, I don't mean in a "what does it all mean" way but in a that is exactly what life in a small, poor, white, boring town is like. No musical cues, no punch ups, no indicators, nothing that a conventional mystery is-this film is about people frozen. And it works with icy precision.… Expand

A flim for the head more than for the heart.

Simple. Flat. Short. GREAT! When you get to the end, you want more but can walk out of the theater satisfied because anymore would be superfluous and spoil the emotion of the film. And that was some shady stuff how Rose took Kyle's money.

BUBBLE may lapse into psychodrama, but it is also a remarkably accurate picture of how many people live in Middle America. Sophisticated city audiences may snicker at these "hicks," but the majority of ordinary Americans will recognize BUBBLE may lapse into psychodrama, but it is also a remarkably accurate picture of how many people live in Middle America. Sophisticated city audiences may snicker at these "hicks," but the majority of ordinary Americans will recognize themselves and hoiw they live. Whether they will welcome what they see is problematical, but BUBBLE is well worth seeing, if only for the fact that the characters (mostly non-professionals, in dead-on if flat and prosaic portrayals) actually WORK for a living. How often do we see that in an American movie lately?… Expand
