This is what passes for art these days...overrated, too slow

Rating: 4/10 (7 March 2020)

It surprises me how critics have a taste for movies that may be artistic but are just awful or average experiences at best to watch. If you're a film critic you might like this movie for the reasons that all the other film critics do.
If you're an average moviegoer who wants a movie with characters to relate to and a story to inspire and remember you would be disappointed.
The first half of the movie is way too long in setting up the premise, you don't realize what the movie turns out to be until the second half making me feel like the first half consisted of too many irrelevant details and was way too long. By the time the movie picks up pace you're already tired. I found myself skipping every thirty seconds towards the end.
Secondly, a great movie should leave you with a positive feeling, either a feeling of hope or inspiration or if neither of those are possible atleast the satisfaction of having had a good laugh. This movie does none of that, it leaves you with a feeling of despair and hopelessness. Sadly that is what passes for art these days.
There were some good parts about the movie, such as the acting was top-notch especially from the sister. Cinematography was good too but the movie was just not deserving enough to be the best picture of the year.
If it wasn't so highly rated I would've given it a 6/10 but giving it a 4 to bring the rating down to what it should get.
