Papilio Buddha

The screen time would have been less than 20 minutes if it weren't for the excessively long wide shots that followed the characters across the entire length of the frame several times. The formula for artsy indie films seems to be to shoot everything at 0.25x speed and then slow it further still in the editing.

Yes, the film makes several bold and uninhibited statements. But does that make a good film? Little depth in characters, stilted dialogues, and the most cliched binarism of good vs bad people-I did not enjoy the film.
