Boring! Boring! Boring!

Rating: 1/10 (13 January 2020)

Boring as all hell. I've never seen a movie about such an exciting subject be so boring. The "one take" gimmick hurt the movie. If this could have been edited with multiple set ups the movie could have been much better. After about 20 minutes of following behind people and time filler dialogue I really started to notice the real time format. I was really interested to see how they were going to pull it off. I am very interested in new camera work and story telling but this time it hurt the movie.
When he goes up the hill in the woods forever I almost left. There was no reason for that. I'm sure Mendes was watching the movie during editing and wished he could make some cuts. Doing Rope as "one shot" works and doesn't dictate the story. With this it dictated the story telling.
