If you trimmed 20 minutes or so to remove some of the lingering "half-speed" sequences this could've been something more hard hitting. Instead FP focused more on presenting sequences to invoke a contemplative nature instead of giving us the story with more teeth. The film truly falters when it decides to bare them but becomes self-defeating due to writing choices made early on. Only to slump back on familiarity. The performances range from uneven to solid. I feel like FP didn't want to lean either which way in terms of storytelling and the result are actors doing their best to fall somewhere on both sides of the line. I knew nothing about this movie before I watched it and I'll likely not remember it after. The symptom of a movie that couldn't decide if it wanted to tell me something or show me something memorable.
