Rolling Stone calls the dialog "master class in film artistry".

I call it boring.

To quote Neil Young "...it starts off really slow and then it fizzles out altogether".

And what is with the raves for Oldman's performance? He spends half the movie with a blank look on his face. I've never seen someone get so much screen time and say so little.

Even if you enjoy minimalist, period films shot in predominantly near sepia tones and dimly lit ...you'd better fill up on caffeine first and bring some sort of widget to hold your eyes open.

This fellow was a few rows in front of me.
