Some call this film cutting edge art. I call it pure monotony. Not only is the camera motionless and pulled back far away from the actors, it is also stationed slightly high or above giving the movie the same feel as if it were shot from various security cameras (talk about lazy direction). The viewer is kept at a distance.
Whatever facial expressions are being shared by the actors, it all escapes the notice of even the most careful viewer. One could take the Best Actor winners from recent movie award history and place them all in this film, and still this movie would be bore.
With a stationary, monotone, distant camera, drama is less personal. Comedy holds less interest. The magic of film story telling is missed.
