Pacing


I inadvertently watched this on 1.3x playback speed and was about 15 minutes in before I realised, having spent that time thinking "Man, this is slow".

Opening shot, 5 minutes of random tree being buffeted by the wind, for no apparent reason. I'm OK with the camera staying on things longer than you might expect, that discomfort can be quite challenging. But this wasn't discomfort, it was borderline comatose.

The rest of the film, when there was dialogue and reaction pushed the boundaries of banalities further than I have seen before.
