Really Liked It But Trouble With Dialogue

I really liked this movie, but had difficulty hearing/understanding parts of the dialogue and some of this difficulty seemed to stem from their trying to get down the lingo and terminology of the day (which is good so far as realism, and is one reason I would have liked to be able to understand all of it, and also because the majority of this movie is a minimalist walkie/talkie type of film).

Combine that with the accents of the characters and we are left with some of the dialogue sounding like mumble jargon, and, I don't know...something else with the audio mixing that made it hard to understand?

I even watched a second time with captions, and the person typing in the captions obviously also had difficulty with portions of the dialogue -- many 'inaudibles' typed in and sometimes didn't get words or phrases correct that I could barely understand.

I am thinking of trying to get a copy of the script to read while watching this film again.

Also, a few of the camera close-up shots were not done well -- seemed overly dramatic and took me out of the film.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the story, the scenery, the acting.

Barlow Jacobs is on my list of wonderful talented new actors :)
