A Polarizing Flick

Rating: 3/10 (10 January 2016)

I had to wait four days after watching this movie to write this review because I was spitting fire It's simple THE FILM IS TOO LONG. I loved the cast. The acting was superb. I'm blaming the script. It isn't the commentary or the n-words. I like that part. It is the lack of editing. What was said, needed to be said, more succinctly. The constant babbling soliloquies made the film nearly three hours. It gives the impression that Father Quentin was being overly self indulgent. Perhaps it was my fault for going to a movie theater to see it. The seats just don't accommodate a 167 minute film, period. I think if I had seen it at home I would have at least been more comfortable for the onslaught. My biggest disappointment was that the film starts out with greatness and gradually tapers down to a slow, long, trickle..........drip, drip, ugh.
