Wish the director didn't fumble the pacing / editing

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2017)

Darn. Just darn! I wish with a vengeance the director did a better job editing and pacing this because almost everything else about this film is sooooo good. I would not recommend seeing this in theaters because you need the freedom of pausing the film and walking away from it for a few hours because it is extremely boring, especially during the first 60 minutes. However the acting is outstanding with all parties involved. The scenes are shot with the eye of a film master. The scenes are visceral and realistic. The film is a blend of heartbreaking and inspirational. Which is why this should have been edited better. And etc. This is such a good story, I just wish I could recommend it without telling people it is boring.
