In this long line, there's been some real strange genes. You've got 'em all, with some extras thrown in.
I was a bit interested in this, but the trailer turned me off of it. It looks reductive and probably a slog. Not that I take all trailers at face value, but the pieces available here give me little confidence. The "I'm Joe and I'm a nymphomaniac" "we call it 'sex addict'" exchange is what does it for me, especially with the summary describing her as "self-prescribed." It seems like it's going to be another case of a character, for one reason or another, labeling herself as something they find despicable, despising themselves, and rolling along on the LvT perpetual motion misery machine. Also, it could've had none of that and looked great, but the Rammstein still would make it seem silly.

Five hours is pretty absurd for one movie, even with an intermission. While I think three hours can be a fine length, five would be an entire night of free time if I dared to watch it on a work day.

I'm in total agreement on the trite dialogue. I become more certain that I'll hate this movie every time I think of the "my only sin" mini-monologue.

We don't need a soliloquoy about "political correctness" and how it's wrong that you aren't allowed to use the word "negro" or "neger."
What are the details of this?
