The Humans

I was so excited to this movie.  After all, it stars one of my favorite actors (Richard Jenkins) and it was a play turned into a movie.  As the movie started I was all set to dive into a talkie drama.  As it started it seemed promising enough.  And then… there was nothing to dive into.  The allusions to some kind of sinister goings-on were extremely odd and – even after you see that they are metaphorical – didn’t work at all.  The last scene summed up the movie.  It…. just….. kept…. going…. until…. it….. feels…. like…. the…. movie….. just….. (snore).
