But as to your opinion, I pretty much agree.
I think that if I saw this completely cold, not knowing anything about it, there might have been a horror in figuring out what was happening. But since I did know they were locked in a room (every single review tells you that), it was just kind of tedious for a long time, horrific as it was.
Not bad, but of the listed nominees for Oscar best picture, this would be the bottom of my personal list. There were touching moments, of course, and I respect the job the actors had to do. But it didn't do all that much for me.
