Byzantium (2012)
6/10
Neat little movie
5 October 2022
This movie grabbed my interest and held it for the first half or so. The first half was really sweet and the characters were all really endearing. It just got boring for the 2nd half. I mean, this movie really does have it all, albeit just in little sprinkles - it has endearing characters that you care about, violence and implied dark sexual violence which just adds to the overall feel of empathy you have for the 2 female leads, excellent performances from everyone involved, nice music, nice sets, great story. It's got it all, but only in little sprinkles of greatness. Sadly, the 2nd half, the whole half, is just boring! It annoyed me, because I was really captivated by this movie in the first half. Still, it's absolutely worth your time.

For the most part, this is a slow movie. We aren't talking art-house crap or anything (only the pod-people like that garbage), but it's slow, so you'll want to be in that headspace. But it's really sweet, when it's not horrific. I really felt for the characters.
