This film has the honour of being the only film I have actually walked out the cinema on. I suffered until the midpoint watching at least three fourths of the cinema walk out before me. I had previously seen Kaddosh by the same director and had loved it, so had gone to see Yom Yom prepared to be impressed. However this film is one of the most irredeemably boring, disjointed and pedestrian film I have ever seen. You get introduced to too many characters in a much too rapid-fire and jarring manner, and all their stories seem so banal bordering on the annoying. I love slice of life films (Omar Ioseliani is one of my top directors), yet this film doesn't show the love and empathy for its characters, nor the respect of its viewers attention, that is needed to make a film like this work.
