Sound of My Voice: More clarity requirednew

More often than not, it's a compliment to state that a particular film could stand to be longer, since it generally means that either the characters or the storylines are so compelling that we don't want our visit to their celluloid world to end. In the case of Sound of My Voice, though, this statement is meant as criticism rather than praise.

The Dictator rules, then faltersnew

It was probably too much to hope that The Dictator would operate in the same fashion as Borat and Bruno, and indeed, Sacha Baron Cohen has added something to the picture that prevents it from completely succeeding: a plot.
