Yeah, no, no this isn't for me. I had to stop halfway through out of sheer boredom, unfortunately, though I can see how Lisandro Alonso's unconventional western will appeal to some viewers.

I had to stop halfway through out of sheer boredom, unfortunately, though I can see how Lisandro Alonso's unconventional western will appeal to some viewers. Jauja, like Force Majeure, suffers from its lingering shots that seem to go on and on; usually this is done for a purpose, but the only purpose I can see is to convey the scintillating beauty of the film. The cinematography is the aspect of Jauja preventing me from giving it 1 or 2 points, but however gorgeous the film is, the storyline is still lacking. Shame.… Expand

Just plain bad. I only watched the first half, after what I walked out of the cinema. I heard that the second half is better, but I've got no intention of seeing the movie again with that hope. Lingering unnecessary shots, poor acting,Just plain bad. I only watched the first half, after what I walked out of the cinema. I heard that the second half is better, but I've got no intention of seeing the movie again with that hope. Lingering unnecessary shots, poor acting, terrible narrative, zero appeal. The most meaningful thing in the whole first half was a guy masturbating himself. Come to think of it, the whole movie seems like an excuse from the director to stare at the mirror and masturbate to his own image. The only good things in the film were the photography and the filming, but anyways, it's something any person with good cameras and cinematographic consciousness can do.… Expand
