Saw it 19 Sept expecting it to be a gritty or surreal drama that is atypical of Javier Bardem - it was neither. From the start it was incoherent mumbling with flashbacks where the main character was speaking in Spanish (no subtitles) in unnamed countries. Elle Fanning tried to inject a little bit of life into the movie but it slid into outright boredom with a story that could've been told in 5 minutes.
It took half the film to work out where it was set even especially with the camerawork focusing too close to Bardem's face thus filling the entire screen.
If you want an expensive sleep this is for you but otherwise give it a miss
