Title: Slooooow
Product review: The film is tediously slow. Shots are held to the point where you're going "well"? There's a kind of dull numbness to the whole thing, relieved only occasionally by a light bit of humor. Sadly, the lead hasn't got the screen presence to carry the film.There cinematography is sometimes pretty, but the framing is sometimes weird. There's a shot through a doorway and the two leads walk out of view as seen through it, but the camera lingers on the empty door for-ever. Some scenes feel like they were done with only two setups, and there's no additional coverage, so we go from a one shot to a another one shot and back to the first. The dinner scene, for instance, where we never see the food...even when one of them supposedly takes a bite.I wanted to like it, but it felt like a short film that was stretched out to five times its ideal length.
