Too many unnecessary scenes

Rating: 5/10 (24 November 2012)

I am very disappointed in this movie too. The director prefers a slow-paced movie...but in view of the subject being discussed, it would make the movie whole lot better if some of the unnecessary things were given lessor importance.
For instance, the sex scenes at the beginning were such a drag and could have been cut really short to keep things just at the right amount.
Other scenes could have been made at a slightly heightened pace, to allow more discussion on important matters and issues that this movie fail to bring out. I will give credit to winslet's intense acting performances which somehow helped me to endure through this slow torture.
