If we are not going to wait til we actually watch the film, lets at least wait until we get a response from some critics post SXSW before we start arbitrarily formulating biased and ignorant opinions about it... until then lets try and be cognizant of the fact that SXSW does not accept just any film and is 1 of tha more reputable festivals there is...
