    Slow but Interesting
    Once I got used to the episodic nature of this film, it drew me in somewhat.

    Often, what in other films would be the establishing shot at the beginning of a scene turned out here to be the whole thing! Thus, I was initially caught thinking "I wonder what's going to happen here?" before I realised that the appropriate thought was instead "what does this snippet add to the overall tapestry?". After a while, therefore I was able to piece together enough to make some sort of sense of what was going on.

    It's still a bit weird, and low on action, but OK if you're in the right mood, I think.
