I was so excited to see this, and having read the book I thought they did a halfway decent job on adapting some elements (even if timing is all over the place). There were several places where I was pointing at the "thing" on the screen like Leo.
That said, even as a book reader I was underwhelmed by the filmmakers. I will need to take a look at their other work.
My take was that someone got the funding and wanted to get this out there before it was fully vetted and ready. Either that, or I don't have the right appreciation for this sort of storytelling on screen.
I do appreciate the effort though. It's not totally terrible if you know what is going to happen, if you don't, I doubt it will be a good watch (grinding at best).
