....you're unconvincing. And it's not worth seeing again just to point out the specifics why.
It's been a long time since I've seen it and a detail may be fuzzy in my example but there's no question about my memory of the jarring gaps I felt in some essential continuity. I remember actually being angry, feeling frustrated, cheated by the director.
What's "missing" are some final, refined ingredients from an ambitious story teller. Close(ish), but no cigar from me.
It's a schizophrenic movie in that it couldn't make up it's mind between being pop or being art. Ultimately it was neither.
I complimented Asano and the pretty colors and nicely costumed natives, what more do you want? ;-)
I didn't say it's a failure, just a disappointment.
