First, I was born in 1972, so I'm not a millennial or Gen-Y who can't appreciate a movie from 40 years ago. I'm trying to check off all Best Picture winners and this was one I was dreading. It was exactly what I expected - boring. I'm ok with slow-paced films, as long as the story and characters are interesting, but this lacks both. It's mainly focused on two characters, but then introduces a few others and I can barely tell them apart. Abrahams was the most interesting, mostly because of his claim that him being Jewish proved to be a challenge, but it's barely shown in the film. The main theme and Ian Holm were the only two things I enjoyed. Felt like the entire movie was in slow motion. 😴
