This movie is a classic case study regarding not only hype, but the consequences of said hype as it pertains to movie reviews.
I just don’t believe people who are calling this movie a “masterpiece.” People are swayed by the hype pre-release, and now feel obligated to praise the movie since everyone else seems to be saying how great it is.
It’s three hours of conversation. It’s a really difficult movie to be entertained by. That said I can appreciate the work that went into this, the cinematography, acting, dialogue, and directing. It takes tremendous work to put something like this together. Is it a movie I would sit down and watch again? Not a chance in hell.
