I caught myself checking my phone throughout the whole movie in search for anything that would make time pass by faster.
The subject is interesting and timely, the actors are all good. But, I am wondering, why does everything again have to be so slow and dry? I imagine, e.g. Woody Allen or even the makers of friends, taking the same plot, then filling it with lots of nice little details to give it a unique note, little things to cheer us up, make us laugh, hold our breath, provoke our thoughts or inspire, keep us involved and curious about what's next, some lively jazz music here or there to create pace and rhythm. Because after all, dear film makers, we are all giving you 2 hours of our attention. That's a lot of time that can be used as a platform to communicate whatever you'd want to give to the world, no? I think, esp. now when movies are made in such crazy amounts as nowadays, any movie should be so full of good little and big things that you'd like to go a second time at least, because you couldn't catch it all at first, wouldn't that be a much better use of the hours of time and work put into a movie?
Instead everything here looks like a rather dry observation from somebody just standing by, without the mercy of giving us even one little thing to laugh or puzzle about, at least from time to time. In this case, I would prefer a 5 Minute summary of the story, one would not really have missed anything in essence.
