It probably is not socially desirable to bash a film that has intellectual and artistic aspirations. Nonetheless I'm having a go at it. First of all, this is a documentary. It's very, very, very slow. Now and again interesting cinematography and an interesting premise about the role of vision in the formation of memories. As proposed it has material for say 25 minutes, this documentary is an hour longer. My wife gave up viewing after about 25 mintues. My daughter and myself sat it through but not to our satisfaction. Maybe if the perspectives of the other characters were more elaborated it could have been more interesting, but this wasn't done. So, don't be surprised if you're having a go viewing this, you find yourself pressing the power button after 25 minutes. Despite the favorable reviews of other viewers and expert critics.
