Great Movie, But.....I don't get, didn't understand it, it flew over my head, and thats because i watched 4 times. Justin Timberlake, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and The Rock, were all awesome. They each gave a tremedous performance . But i still didn't get it..Score: 5/5
An Underrated MasterpieceSouthland Tales has been pretty heavily criticised since it first came out in 2006, but maybe that is because it is not so much a film as a work of art. If you like simple, action-packed films with lots of explosions and little depth, this movie will probably not appeal to you. However, if you want to see a clever commentary on politics, society, religion and life in general, a film that will make little sense at first but will slowly piece together in your mind after the credits have rolled, then this is your film. It should be noted that the writing, acting and plotting in this film are abysmal, however this is done deliberately to make a point about the lives that we lead today, and the mishmash of notions and ideas that they are fast becoming. If you did not understand or appreciate Southland Tales, read the graphic novels and then rewatch the film. If you still don't get it, then give up and watch something more mainstream..Score: 5/5
An Amazing FilmThis is one of my favorite films behind Donnie Darko and Elephant. Its one of those movies that has a few flaws (bad acting, long, unneccessary scenes) but makes up for it all in originality. The last thirty minutes are probbably the one of the most brilliant sequences in film history. People should keep in mind that this film is a sequel to three graphic novels. You can watch it without reading them but then you're only getting a part of the story. Having read them, many more parts of this film become relevant. I completely recommend this movie, especially to anyone who is getting bored of the new wave of cookie cutter romantic comedies and plotless action movies that have been coming out recently. This movie is hillarious, sad, dramatic, original, artistic, and cathardic and it should not be missed..Score: 5/5
Fix ItIts not letting me download it so, I can't judge this with anything but 1 star until I see it myself but I can't do that till you fix this. Thank you :).Score: 1/5
Terrible..Should be .99. I watched this on Netflix. I can't even begin to say how bad this movie is so... I won't bother. Just the the writers & producers of this snuff flick..Score: 1/5
The VerdictFrom reading the reviews i conclude that if you want to like this movie, you shouldnt compare it too much to donnie darko. I thought it was great, but you had to work to get it, which was fun, its rare you find a movie these days that you have to think about.:).Score: 5/5
Whoa.If you've been watching movies yr whole life and you always know what's going to happen next, then this one will rock yr leetle world. Because there is no effing way to figure out where it's going or what it all means. And I mean that in the best possible way. Kelley is the genius we thought he might be with Donnie Darko. This movie is in my all-time Top 5, after one viewing. I only wish I could watch the OG version, before they made him cut it up. Man, this movie rocks!.Score: 5/5
Richard Kelly's "Southland Tales"I'm going to start my review by saying that there is only two words that can describe Richard Kelly's "Southland Tales" and those words are "perfect" and "masterpiece". This is a great film, a true work of art. It's one of the best films you'll ever see and it's in my top five favorite films. A great social and political satire. It's without a doubt the most important and potent political satire since Brazil. Great performances can be seen throughout the film. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is perfectly cast as Boxer Santaros. Sarah Michelle Gellar is absolutely wonderful as the porn star Krysta Kapowski aka. Krysta Now. Seann William Scott gives an Oscar-worthy performance as Roland/Ronald Taverner. There is not a dull moment in the entire film which runs close to two and a half hours. If there is one film from last year that it is necessary to see, this is that film..Score: 5/5

Not The Usual PablumA challenging film about where our world is culturally and politically, about the effect these never ending wars have on our troops and their families, and about how scary it is that the top 1% are all trying to find the big alternative fuel to oil so they can continue to control us. And it's a comedy. Give it a try and keep an open mind..Score: 5/5
Should have been marketed as a 'dark comedy'Confused, bewildered, lost? Thats what this film does. It makes you think. When you figure out the snl cast is actually in it for a reason you'll understand how humorous this masterpiece really is. This is defiantly not for everyone. If Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko made you spew more words than "that's cool". If the introspective and social commentary are things your looking for, WATCH THIS FILM! You'll play repeatedly for days. Your welcome.Score: 5/5
Not goodIts actually really bad. You think it would be good because there are so many known actors in it, but it makes no sense. Watch it if you want to bore yourself completely. Luckily I saw it for free, so I didnt waste money watching it. But its like 2 hours of my life I will never get back. The whole time I was wishing it was over. So bad..Score: 1/5
