The hour and 55 minute runtime is due to the director intentionally dragging out every single shot of the film. Actors mumbling their lines, you will really struggle to understand the dialogue. Avoid.

Well said. There must be at least 10 minutes of footage in this of the mother walking around in a hotel room or someone watching him when she is in a hotel room practically doing nothing. It doesn't end there with gratuitous shots of nothing either unfortunately.
