It's all strange and mildly unpleasant and self-consciously arty.

The entire movie seems to be suffering from the same suffocating disease as Jack.

fresh:
As indie efforts go, The Ballad of Jack and Rose pushes a lot of the classic indie audience buttons, coupled with some depressingly mainstream ones.

fresh:
Doesn't succeed in everything it sets out to do, but as a statement about the death rattle of 60s counterculture it's thoughtful and affecting.
