What Was It Supposed to Be Like?

About This Movie

So, 'What Was It Supposed to Be Like?' has this strange vibe. It's kind of like watching a slow train wreck—you're not really sure why you're still there, but you can’t look away. Eric Cloutier's direction feels oddly detached, leaving the performances hanging in this awkward space. The film mixes drama and music with Western elements, but it doesn't really gel; it's almost like it doesn't know what it wants to be. The pacing is really uneven, and the atmosphere? It’s like a dusty old room that hasn’t seen sunlight in years. There's a sense of longing in the themes, but it gets lost among the stilted dialogue and the somewhat lifeless scenes. A distinct piece, but not necessarily for everyone.
