I really wanted to love this one... but my word it dragged.
The contemplative nature of the film is great and there are some very funny moments. The commentary is done well, with taste... but you could've cut the run time by about 10-20 minutes and the film could've been just as effective.
There were pieces of this film that were mind-numbingly slow for no reason. Or repeats of scenes that didn't need one... we don't need the sparrow scene twice, it could've been once and the message was there.
A beautiful film that has some very funny moments, but the run-time and pacing really holds it back for me.
