Very boring. Huge downstep from directors previous movie. The entire thing is silent and bland, without any music between scenes and the child actress deliver their lines so deprived of any expression, it becomes a snore fest. The story neverVery boring. Huge downstep from directors previous movie. The entire thing is silent and bland, without any music between scenes and the child actress deliver their lines so deprived of any expression, it becomes a snore fest.

How this navel-contemplating exercise in minimalist subtlety managed to amass such critical acclaim is genuinely beyond me. However, if you can somehow manage to stay awake for this sleeper (and not in the good sense of the word), congratulations -- you deserve a medal for successfully sticking out this pretentious, self-important snooze fest.… Expand
