While the concept and technical execution of the movie is very good and interesting, it's a shame it's wasted on terrible editing and pacing. This isn't an epic tale with tons of twists and turns that needs a long time to tell it all. It's a fairly simple story, but padded out to the extreme with "sequences" between each scene.
I get it's not meant to be fast paced. But had this movie been cut down to 1h 40min (1 hour slower) it would still feel slow paced due to the simple story being told which doesn't contain too many events.
Giving this a 3 star feels too generous, as I would also regard this as one of the worst movies I have ever seen. A movie can't stand on the technical features alone, if the story and experience of watching the movie is utter crap. It was such a pain to sit through. It really could have been so much better with some better editing and pacing of it's story.
