Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose (2023)
Mind numbingly slow
24 October 2023 - 4 out of 11 users found this review helpful.
The heart or the problem is a lack of immediacy to the editing. Every scene for the first half of the movie drags out like a polite but staggeringly boring conversation at a cocktail party. The director seems intent on showing off hos cast by wringing every last second of what he captured on film into the movie without editing for pacing, timing, dread, humor or wit. Blind faith is rewarded and scientific questioning is vilified for no apparent reason. By the end the viewer is as exhausted by the turning of fun characters into mindless zealots of the church of Jeff and left wondering like the main character why you signed up for the trip. A waste of film... but a very nice original soundtrack.
