The actors do well working in Manuel’s specific directing style — one that’s characterized by unhurried dialogue — it’s just that the style doesn’t always resonate, tamping some of its power instead of enhancing it. Filipiñana is a feast for the eyes, but you’ll likely still leave hungry due to the punishingly slow pacing.
