Was it a little dragging? Yes. But I loved it. The humor, the brutal honesty, the truth, the revelations in this movie are absolutely incredible. The 1&2 star reviews that didn't finish the movie, are the people that couldn't find something good. That couldn't actually read into what was going on. From beginning to end the movie was fantastic, and it was perfect in black and white. The acting was astounding. I personally lived this film. Maybe it's because I'm a film major and picking up on the special parts to this movie, I'm not sure, but I LOVED it!
