Total art house movie...not that there is anything wrong with that. It's about architecture and relationships. About the slowness of the movie, in order to appreciate the architecture and the art of some of the cinematography...sometimes you need to slow down and just let it wash over you. So I don't have a problem with that. Actually, I think the art part of the movie is a lot better than the story.
The acting is pretty good, but the relationships aren't believable. They fit together WAY too neatly, without any of the other problems of life interfering. Simply stated, the relationships are not EARNED. Some of the plot doesn't work, and some of the dialogue is too unrealistic. But all the same, I appreciate what they were trying for...and do not miss the 2 hrs (I guess it only seemed like 2 hrs). There is some real talent at work here, so I look forward to better projects for them all.
