Slow hand, film

RE “A Slow Hand” [Aug. 14]: It’s quite obvious that Jim Jarmusch has “an adverse reaction to thinking about what will happen next” and isn’t “interested in sentiment or life lessons.” In “Broken Flowers,” nothing happened ever! It was more than just slow and subtle; it was downright lethargic and pointless -- no sentiment whatsoever, no life lessons, not even an ending. I’ve never seen people jump out of their seats so fast to exit a theater. Everyone was bored out of their minds.
