Tedious and drawn out, with underdeveloped character arcs

Rating: 4/10 (13 November 2019)

Yes, Edward Norton is great, and the cinematography is interesting. Yes, there are some highly effective and powerful moments. But ultimately, I wasn't entertained by this film.
The story heavily involves Norton's character, a former white supremacist. I was utterly unconvinced by the reasons the film gave as to why he changed his ways. I never found myself believing that someone so adamantly spiteful and prejudiced could so easily reverse all of his attitudes, and change his outlook on life. Not to say that such isn't possible, but I didn't think the film was convincing enough.
I felt like a lot of screen time was wasted. So many scenes came across as unnecessarily long; when the story tries to make a point or convey something, it spends more time than it needs to.
I would've loved to have enjoyed it as much as others, but I ultimately came off underwhelmed.
