Cosmos (1996)
5/10
Neat concept, entertaining

The idea of having 6 directors create 6 miniature stories in a common setting is a fun and creative idea for a film. The only problem being that the viewers are probably going to have different reactions to each story and the limited time the directors had to flush out their stories makes it questionable how much replayability there is for the film.

Personally I enjoyed Dallaire's and Alleyn's pieces the most. The main issue I have is that the stories are tonally inconsistent. Half of the stories are more serious and somber and the other half are more absurdist and wacky. I found myself only really engaged for the more serious half.

The movie is a grab bag of subplots and most viewers will enjoy a couple a lot and the won't likely be bored with the rest.
