Undoubtedly this film is very slow. Towards the end the slow pace almost.... almost became unbearable. I get the film - well at least I feel I do - I almost get the point of it...what I don't get is why there had to be so much of it. For me, this would have been a great short, as it happens it ends up being a watered down version of a brilliant short stretched into a long - never ending movie. At one point I was trying to piece together what my life was like outside of watching this film ..'did I have a life outside of this film?'...I'm not sure because I think I've been watching this film all my life. The acting is brilliant, the premise...very good. The shots/images - well executed. I wasn't angry about it as I usually am when I am made to pay extortionate prices to watch films in the cinema and they disappoint me on some level...but I was a bit bored and after I left with my group of friends we talked about other films that we had seen the previous week...not a good sign.
