Now I personally like some art-house movies, even the ones with hardly any dialogues. Even the ones that are slow moving, but leaves a lasting imageries. That just isn't the case for this movie. Now I am an audience member that has a deep passion for movies and this of it has one of the most effective and impactful art form out there. But this movie was so bland and boring to sit through. There just wasn't anything that left a lasting impression. I think everyone is entitled to there own opinions, but I just don't see how anyone could enjoy this movie. Despite the well shot scenery and stand out costumes. This movie is super boring and will take all the patience you have to sit through. I have never given up on a movie, but I really really wanted to give it up on this one. The story isn't anything special and has been done before. And it's difficult to follow despite it being a very simple story. And that is almost always not a good thing. Like I said, I respect other people's opinions on films. But it seems like pretentious film academics just feel the need to like this movie. Now, just because a film is not rewatchable, doesn't make it a bad film. However most of the viewers that praise this movie will not want to sit through this overly long and dragged out movie again. Some art-house movies has characters that just blankly stare each other or objects for a long period of time. Let's just say that is really overdone in this one. There is this one scene where the camera is behind the see through curtains while shooting the characters, but it just doesn't have any significance. So even the cinematography doesn't make much sense and just comes off more pretentious than meticulous or immaculate. The trailer has just about all the fight sequences combine into it. Although the fight sequences seem to be getting a lot of credit, I just don't see anything special about it. It's not even realistic, I say this because I think they were trying to go in a realistic direction. But it falters in that area. The music is composed of drum beats was bland to listen to as well and didn't add to the experience nor was it stimulating. Now I don't mind reserved and quite movies, but this was so boring. Overall this is a really boring movie that only super art-house movie fans will probably like for the scenery or pretend to like this movie as a whole. I give this movie a 2/10 because I have seen worse. Now I try to see the good in art house movies and try to at least respect it for what it is. But I just can't for this one.
