Ho visto la TV brillare

Another year, another overhyped arthouse film..

Firstly, no matter if you loved this movie or not, you have to agree it had no business being 100+ mins long.. Another case of a short film masquerading as a feature.

To drag the runtime, director Jane Schoenbrun employs one of the most unnatural speech pattern for their characters. It almost drove me crazy. Everyone..... spoke...... in...... annoying...... long....... pauses.

The film somewhat picked up around the 60 minutes mark. The dialogue delivery improved. Both leads were finally given some material to work with.

While the underlying theme is fascinating, it was not executed well. The monologue in the '3rd act', (if you would call it that), better encapsulate Jane Schoenbrun vision and I wished the entire film stayed the course.
