When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I can not, for the life of me, fathom how this film received so many awards. The acting was none existing, the writers must have written the whole film in less seconds then the film has minutes and each of those 103 minutes felt like an hour. Apparently I missed the deep artistic meaning behind two men, who just so happen to share the same name, end up playing douche in an over sized sandpit and get lost. Watching two men walk around aimlessly in a desert without hardly saying a word is not enough to entertain me. I experience more excitement watching the sand in an hour glass fill the bottom half. The idea of the film doesn't interest me, the writers have done nothing to make it interesting and sitting through this whole film was torture. Instead of watching the whole film, I suggest you watch the trailer. You will have seen pretty much all of the dialogue and the highlights of the film.

Gerry will not be for everyone... although that's a pretty big understatement. It moves at a snail's pace, it has a very minimal plot, it has very few editing choices... and all of that is exactly the type of film that appeals to me. Both of the leads are pretty strong, although Affleck considerably moreso. He's a very talented performer who's always filled with the inside of his character and who's naturalism is a benefit in all of his films. He's the reason I sought this out and I was not disappointed. I'm not too familiar with Gus Van Sant's work besides Milk, but his directing is key here. This is a pretty strong film all around, despite there being so little.

To quote some other reviewers, I was "shocked" "stunned" "mesmerized". Yes, after 20 years of chronic insomnia, I was shocked, stunned and mesmerized by the realization that if I had seen this "movie" when it had first come out, I would have been spared these last 11 years of insomnia. Finally, a cure! To use a time-worn cliché: Its amazing what passes for "art" these days. I had seen the director's "Last Days" and thought that the extended shots in that film gives the viewer just enough time to re-group and center on what the writer is trying to convey, as well as time to reflect on the sequence of events and where the movie is headed. I also thought that the time-length of those shots were enough to put one in a "real time" mode. "Last Days" also featured some characterizations, events, music and settings which could draw the viewer in. "Last Days" is about as "real time" and "existential" as I could deal with without discomfort. "Gerry" had no such redeeming, or, winning, qualities. After the first 10 minutes, I fast-forwarded to the middle of the film, viewed that for about one minute, then fast-forwarded to the parting shots and sincerely believed that I had understood the entire film. I guess if I want a meditative, slowing-down-the-mind and being-in-the-now experience I will settle for my Tibetan Buddhist practices.
