movie about a chauffer that is likely to make a big splash soon, it's up for an Oscar. But it's as dull as watching paint dry. Unless you're into movie critics like, that no one else does

how Ebert gushed about this, I thought it was going to be amazing. But it was boring. Moody. Dull. The main character is an actor turned theater director whose wife in the first act, dies of a brain hemorrhage, but was cheating on him with other actors, his chauffer is depressed because she feels that she is to blame for her mother's death, and then there are the long camera shots of the bay, the snow falling, etc. 

The car is real nice though. The story? Just depressing and a snooze.
