An excellent study of life
By zepafa (11 reviews) from Whitley Bay , 09 Apr 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
I saw this when it first came out at the cinema so this is hardly a contemporary review but I just thought I try and balance some the negative comments. I loved it!
The film is a set of vignettes simply told. A passer-by will become the central character and we briefly get a glimpse of their life. Then a group of people appear in the background and we follow them for a while and so on it goes.
To me this film captured life in a city perfectly. It's like a big snapshot but instead of just looking at it from one angle it focuses on many. I found this a very realistic and interesting way of looking at things.
If you have ever wondered what goes on in the lives of all those people who you briefly engage with every day after they have disappeared out of your life - give this a try.
This is by far by favourite Linklaker film (although there are still a few that I haven't seen so I may be missing a gem or two!)- Was this review helpful to you?

(16)Multiverse Theory
By steve1959 (12 reviews) from Lancaster , 23 Apr 2013Slacker remains a breath of fresh air, it’s quirky, funny and intelligent, from the opening minutes we're into multiverse theory that would make Brian Cox pleased as punch to watch, anything is possible in physics, just about, and Richard Linklater proves anything is possible in life holding a camera. We're into “there are as many worlds as there are people” territory here, it’s not a hotchpotch or random it's a look at life. Who will we meet next, who are they, where do they go, what happens to them, this film gives us some clues.- Was this review helpful to you?

By MikePoole (24 reviews) , 29 Aug 2012Interesting idea and well filmed but so boring to watch. It did drag on and on and on and on- Was this review helpful to you?

Worth buying, I want to watch it again
By Anniegetyogun (116 reviews) from Down South , 19 Apr 2011Great, loved it. Refreshingly unsensational, easy going, rhythmic and engaging. Forget the trailer it lacks the rap of the film itself. A great antidote to hollywood glamour/delusion.- Was this review helpful to you?

Don't bother
By a customer from Sunny Cornwall (not) , 21 Aug 2010Picture the scene - Dad gets a film in for a teen lads and mum viewing. Within 10 mins I was getting the 'what's the storyline' comments. At 20 mins I was given the option of putting something else on or watch it on your own. Guess which idiot opted to watch on his own ? Even on fast fwd it was 40 mins too long. Don't bother.- Was this review helpful to you?
