With so many awards and accolades, I expected this film to be compelling and entertaining. It was not for me. The first half is mostly talk with too many flashbacks and flashforwards. The second half has its exciting moments but there are too few to keep momentum.
The actors do reasonably well but the movie is simply too long to hold interest. I guess that's why the director inserted very loud sounds periodically to wake up viewers who drifted off to sleep, including my wife.
The story could have been told more effectively in two hours or less. I'm glad we streamed it at home so we could break it into two 90 minute segments. I would not watch it again.
