"Few films are about simply waiting and talking, but this is one..." Quoting a Guardian review, the guy nonetheless gives high marks.
But that's it, its about waiting and the boring little life moments that cinema usually spares us. This movie almost extinguished my will to live. It's well made, clear style, beautifully shot etc. etc. but it's HORRIBLY boring.
I'm into slow or macabre stuff if it works (Bergman, Kaurismaki...) but there is a deafening sense of pointlessness to the too long scenes in this thing. All the rave reviews make me suspicious of nefarious motives (pretentious snobbery).
I had high expectations due to misleading trailer. Avoid it! Or at least don't pay to see it!
