Its strengths are its weaknesses

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2017)

127 Hours is an interesting movie because its strengths can also be its weaknesses. It's slow, not much happens and it is weirdly surreal. It depends on the audience how it's received.
I actually thought this movie would rely more heavily on flashbacks than the actual situation the main character is in. It's better this way.
While the cinematography and soundtrack are amazing, this movie still feels a bit weird because of how slow it is. It's very thrilling, very agonising, and it's pace makes it even worse - which makes it of course better.
