Too slow. Takes over 80 minutes for anything to happen. Some films take 15-20 minutes at the start to set things up but this took 3/4 of the whole film.
I really felt for their plight and it was hard, frustrating and down right heartbreaking to watch. There were some tough scenes. But I just had trouble feeling invested. The slow pacing tested my patience and attention span, and I couldn't engage with the characters as much as I would've otherwise liked to.
The performances are good, and the story is an amazing tale, but the execution was off and I didn't buy it. I even felt guilty for snacking on chocolate while watching the famine unfold.
Falls short of being something truly remarkable. The story deserved something more. Bit of a disappointment.
