I never leave reviews. I think this is my first review in 15 years. But I am so offended by this pretentious piece of garbage, I have to (briefly) vent my frustration, anger, annoyance, boredom, etc.
I gave one star each for the sound design and for the acting. I feel really bad for the lead actor because boy, did he deliver. He's like that student in a group project who ends up doing all the work while everyone else just slacks. Not that the girl was bad, but she could have delivered more.
Talk about a movie that asks too much of its audience. Seriously, do the filmmakers realize that we, the audience, are gifting them our valuable time to watch their movie? No. We are INVESTING our time, so it's not a big ask to have them deliver something worth our while.
I usually really enjoy slow-burn films. But if you're going to make an avant garde slow-burn, PLEASE keep us interested. WE WANT TO BE INTERESTED. But no, in this case they bored us to tears. And those of us who doggedly stuck with it until the bitter end received no reward. And that's what angered me.
Do yourself a favor and skip, unless you have a hard time falling asleep at bedtime.
