I watched this with friends, and they were both sleepy and had to tap out on this film.
I cannot believe that guy's sympathetic story is that he was a sex tourist in Thailand who thought some girl was a prostitute, and he got cursed for abandoning her after she fell in love with him.
I don't see the pacing as a major problem, and in fact I think it helps make the whole film feel very dreamlike once you hit a certain point. With that in mind, I really liked this movie a whole god damned lot.
I didn't like the subtitles, so I haven't taken a quote from this film.
