Lacking plot

Rating: 5/10 (6 October 2017)

The hype got us going, the film sent us to sleep. The monochrome scenes in which everything was covered in light brown dust abounded. Many times we were left staring at dust, then we stared at Ryan Gosling staring at dust, then there would be a cut back to the dust. Maybe there would be a glow in the dust I don't know maybe not, was I asleep or awake right there - hard to tell. The film was terrorized by the myth of its predecessor and dared not do anything aside from throwing some shade with a shed load of dust and a thousand thousand yards of staring.
They forgot the colour, not just in itself, not just in the monochrome vistas, but in terms of vivacity of the scenes, of peoples actions, and of their expressions which would have been a great counterbalance to many, many very slow scenes.
