“It feels like an idea was to make a movie that somewhat resembles u0026quot;Lost in Translationu0026quot;. Well… It didnu0026#39;t pan out. It is extremally slow, almost no sounds except for dialogues which arenu0026#39;t particularly entertaining or witty, no real action or plot development of any kind – the movie literally consists of a few scenes where our characters meet up and talk. It has a pretty positive vibe, perhaps somebody can find it climatic but all in all it is pretty boring and disappointingly uneventful. After I have watched it, I literally have no clue what this piece was supposed to be about. It does remind me of u0026quot;Lost of Translationu0026quot; a lot but it didnu0026#39;t even got close to S. Coppolau0026#39;s movie on a shelf. Not bad overall but I find it hard to go above 5/10.”
