Very good and smart, and a well done film. BDT is fantastic, fans of his (like myself) will forego the slow pace and find the movie rewarding to watch. It all comes together at the end but it is a little ponderous, perhaps so in order to include all of the metaphors and symbolism the movie maker wants included. It’s beautiful, intense, and worth the watch. Other reviews describe the plot as incomplete and the movie disappointing, but it takes a little time and attention to follow. 5 Stars from my wife and me!
