No plot, attempts at a storyline. Completely all over the place. What a waste of hours! Neither the main plot nor the plot adds up to anything. Love affair seems cringy. Husband-wife and even the filial relationship seems so fake. One story moves onto another with no relation in between as if this were the attempt of a photographer to bring together a scrapbook of images. And to be honest, even the images are not that great. So, don't waste your time.

I was extremely excited about this film due to the hype surrounding it. Then I watched it and was confounded by what the big fuss was about. I liked the frozen scene. It is kind of like the ending of "La La Land" in a way making you feel that you've been watching this long film only for "that" particular scene, and which is -frankly- what makes both films bearable. In any way, the film was not something great but certainly mediocre. Don't be fooled by the critics who have hyped it to the stars.

I was skeptical about the film as the summary felt like a rip-off of "Possession." I couldn't have been more right. It has a highly similar plot without the unexpected twists of "Possession." Adapted from the novel of Byatt obviously the former film is way better in terms of character development, suspense and plot twists. This film on the other hand feels like a waste of time.
