Yes, this film has some major flaws. Despite that it is worth watching. The pacing is thoughtful and adult. No MTV cuts needed here. Scenes are given time to develop. Themes grow into worthwhile concepts. The film is beautiful but this is not just eye candy. The mixture of stunning visuals and measured, low key and controlled acting show what Hollywood can do when they don't just go for the lowest common denominator. Thank you Brad Pitt for taking you time.
