Sting - the singer, musician artist, composer, and band leader, once said in an interview, "When I listen to music if I'm not surprised within eight bars I move on. Maybe 16"
What Sting said about music hits the nail for all kinds of art in my opinion. Why should I, (or anyone else) not move on when a piece of art makes me feel forced to keep paying attention because it is so boring? This is exactly the feeling that I had for the first 20 minutes. I would have to keep on watching against my will. It starts so slow, it almost attacks with boring scenes and dialogues. But what is the point of keeping on watching? Killing time? This is not one of the reasons why I watch movies. The makers aren't bad, it is a low-budget production and I have a ton of respect for such people. They have made some outstanding movies so far. But this one they can learn from. Making mistakes has a reason: to learn from them.
