The concept is a good one but it lacked detail in the presentation.
The actors were excellent, presenting believable well-rounded characters, and technical aspects of the film were well executed.
But this film lacks anything really memorable or intense enough to invoke any feeling about it. A series of events happen - some making no sense - the end.
There really isn't much drama in the film let alone any suspense or anticipation, and that is where (I think) the problem is. It lacks intensity to accompany the fine characters.
Events that do happen are not really explored or exploited to being drama to the story. Some of them happen with no lead in or lead out as to why they happen.
One excellent point is that at least they had what looked like proper tea brewed instead of the yellow insipid muck film makers often try to pass off for the beverage.
It's not a bad film, and it is watchable. You just won't take much away from it.
