It's slow.
Really slow.
It starts slow.
And when you keep waiting for the story to pick up it keeps slow.
It's like the production team really wanted to mimic the European artsy movies where the state pays for everything and there is enough story for about half an hour at best, so there are the big panoramas and slow panning and the actors lock in thoughtful poses which they think it's moody.
It's a nice idea. And it's a nice execution. But maybe some trimming would have made a great 20 minute medium feature.
Also felt the stress involved with perfectly matching the team: get a Jew, and a Black and an Asian. Than mix the couples to show we're cool with racial mixing. Somehow that matching seems more relevant to the script than actually making the story go.
