Don't Look Now might not be a movie for everyone. Less patient viewers will be put off by the slow, deliberate pacing and lack of actual scares, but powering through it will still make you appreciate you saw it even if it doesn't totally land with you.
There are many little tiny scenes that could have easily been trimmed here and there, but the performances of Sutherland and Christie as grieving parents are so great, Roeg's atmosphere is so thick, and Donaggio's lush score is so beautiful that you can forgive just about anything.
The ending is still a sucker punch to this day and one of the most haunting sequences ever filmed. It's so good that it can almost make you forget about any pacing issues. It most definitely makes it worth seeing along with an incredibly frank sex scene between Sutherland and Christie that's still shocking in its explicitness and tenderness.
