I heard a great New Yorker Radio Hour podcast about the film, so I dove in with high hopes. But it was a slog.

I kept looking for some spark -- humor, emotion, love, or just about anything other than the sensation of standing next to a jackhammer for almost two hours. But that's what this film- watching experience was.
