Virtually unwatchable - All About Lilly Chou-Chou review by CP Customer
Apart from an atmospheric soundtrack and beautiful cinematography 'All about Lily Chou-Chou' has little to offer. Somewhere buried within the confusing plot is a rather dull story about bullying intercut with onscreen internet chat room dialogue from a group of fans pretentiously discussing the merits of a fictional pop star named 'Lili Chou-Chou', and at nearly two and a half hours long it's excruciatingly tedious viewing. If you're into art-house film then you may find something in it to like, otherwise I would give it a miss.
