Another reviewer compared the technical making of this movie, the look of it to the Dogma style. You can say that, but it doesn't stop there. The story as it is, the pacing of the movie, the characters etc. are all kept with a minimum amount of "action". Of course this serves the overall appeal of the story (drama) very well and the director does a fine job here.
It still will leave a few people wanting more excitement, something more magical, something more active. Because to call the main character of the movie active, would be a very big stretch of the word! While I do liked his performance and the movie overall, I struggled with the vote ... I could also have given it a 7 (or a very stretched, for me at least, 8), but I decided against that, because I do think that the movie could have used a little bit more "spice" (something extra)
