This fundamentally is a director showing what he can do with the camera and not a director telling a story.
The dialogue is long, rhythmic and very meaningless and boring. The actors were good and work with the writer to create monologues that showcased their ability to project. Stage actors I would presume.
However, the weakest link is the fact that is not really entertainment. This is watching a camera maneuver like that no budget film in the woods released in the 90's. It was awful to watch because there was no consideration for the audience to discover any entertainment.
One thing I will point out, there was no coverage in these scenes. Very little cut to a close up coverage which killed its scene value. the story really began with that shot where the girl sits down at the switchboard. Why? Because of the angle of the shot, the lighting, and we can actually see the actor. These long tracking shots mean nothing.
A great production value, love the camera work but it has to mean something. This happens all the time and I knew when I started to see camera work and little story that this was going to be another cliche director mistake.
He entertained himself, but not the audience.
Good effort.
