This is not a Hollywood movie. It is a film relying on vignettes...gradual character revelation as opposed to strait jacketed narrative flow...the whole point of the film is not to go anywhere but question somewhere....you wont get that....cause you're looking for the wrong thing.
This Coppola movie has got rave reviews from Roger Ebert and other critics who have included this movie in their "Top 10 movies of 2010". Elvis obviously thinks otherwise!
