Rarely do I rate a movie the lowest possible but for this one I just have to. Maybe it deserved a bit more for the cinematography that looked very professional but to me a movie isn't only about the quality of images. I'd rather watch a good story badly filmed than no story beautifully filmed. That's my opinion. Because this movie has no story at all, it's just a collage of shots that bring nothing. Yes everything is very well centered, almost OCD, but I didn't want to see art but a story. If I want to see art I go to a museum or I watch a documentary about art. This is supposed to be a movie so I expect a story or at least an attempt to it. You only get scenes with straight lines, everything nicely centered, neverending boring silent shots. Elia Suleiman is the writer, the director, the actor, so yes you get it, he's full of himself. He doesn't speak (or at least not in the first hour as I stopped the movie (sorry to use that word as it's not a movie)), he just walks around and looks at things. Those scenes where he looks at something don't seem to end, bring absolutely nothing to the supposed story. I read this was supposed to be a comedy. I guess I don't have a sense of humor then, or at least not the right one for this movie. I didn't laugh once, not even a tiny grin. As said before I only watched a bit more than one hour of It Must Be Heaven. After that I couldn't take it anymore and had to shut it down. Felt more like this must be hell. I almost never stop a movie once I start watching it, no matter how bad it is, just to have a honest opinion before reviewing, but in this case I just couldn't take it anymore. It's a mystery to me why this movie gets that kind of ratings, I don't get it and will never get it. At least I will have learned a good lesson, never again I'll watch something from Elia Suleiman.
