The only reason i was able to watch this is the forward button. I don't mind slow movies, in fact, i like them a lot recently and i am watching a lot of slowburn 70's movies. But this was too slow-paced. There were many scenes which viewer watches these two girls just walking a path/road, for heavy minutes. What was the purpose of this? Still, i could roll with this if the characters were more interesting or if they had a background that explained their behavior. None of that here. Cinematography was nice but there was nothing else that could hold my attention. Nothing mysterious/enigmatic/meaningful. Just two boring characters doing irrational things without explanation. Normally, i love 70's movies like this but this was too empty and shallow. There are some positives here, acting was good, there were some dramatic moments and i wanted to see where it goes. But overall, this failed.
