A beautiful film may be pointless but at least it's beautiful. You know, a film with beautiful scenery but nothing else really.
Now, an ugly film must have a point. If it's an ugliness that nobody knows anything about but that all should know about - well, that might be a point for doing the film.
Now, here there is plenty of ugliness but we have seen it before. No solution is offered, not even an absurd one. So, then why do the movie? Is it what we used to call "social porno"? Probably and just as all other porno it's pretty brainless.
Compare the end scene of this film with the end of the silent film The Crowd. The films are similar in that they deal with social issues but the ens scene in The Crowd is touching. The end in this film is contrived and somehow predictable. No surprises here and the contrived editing is just as boring.
