I watched this on a streaming plattform and I am glad I did. This movie certainly makes you think. The story structure is interesting, the music is haunting.
However it lacks something that would make it great. And to be honest if I had watched it on a big screen it would not have had the same effect. It does at times feel like a documentary and I would not have enjoyed this style if I had to sit through it in one going and with high expectations. Thats because the movie takes its time, which is fine. But I do have to say that I did not need the final battle - or maybe a different one. It felt just like it had to be there. The ending just does not bring it home for me. Also - and I asume this was intentional - in each perspective only the POV character got to shine. This means that the other two main characters were pretty much there ... this kinda takes you out of it all. Maybe thats whats lacking: I was at no point fully imersed in the story I was at all times aware I was watching a movie.
