Waiting,waiting,waiti ng!


I'm sorry, but this has to be one of the most BORING films I struggled to get 1/3 through WAITING for SOMETHING to happen! Beautiful scenery but the painfully slow story was excruciating to watch. I took a fast forward to the end hoping I had missed something dramatic, but I hadn't!

What, not enough explosions or chase scenes for you? It's simplicity is the point I think.

This kind of question is always posed by people who are offended by others' opinions. It's a snob's mantra, lacking in originality and based on unfounded prejudice.

Simplicity is fine. This film was incredibly dull.

And yet it's true. Some movies go at a slower pace and explore the characters. People with no attention span are bored by this.

I don't fall into that category.

I fall into that one.

I got half way through and jumped to wiki in order to read the rest of the story. Well, at least I was partly interested.
It was good acting but, turgid. I gave it a 3 and I think I was being kind.
