Too slow paced and pointless to be entertaining...

I had never heard about the 2014 drama "0.5 Miri" (aka "0.5 mm") prior to sitting down here in 2022 to watch it. I was given the chance to watch it, and of course I did so, because this was a Japanese movie that I hadn't already seen.

Now, I wasn't familiar with the movie running for 3 hours and 18 minutes, which was quite a killer. And to add insult to injury, then the narrative in the story is paced at an unbearably slow pace. It was so difficult to sit through the movie, and trust me, then 197 minutes becomes quite an ordeal to conquer.

The acting performances in "0.5 Miri" were adequate, but keep in mind that nothing much of any great entertainment or excitement happens throughout the mind-numbingly slow narrative.

This movie came and went without leaving a lasting impression on me, and truth be told then I wasn't even properly entertained by the movie. It was simply too slow and too mundane. So writer and director Momoko Andô failed to dish out something watchable here, if you ask me.

My rating of "0.5 Miri" lands on a generous three out of ten stars. Good luck staying awake throughout the 197 minutes.
