the one word that describes this film, for me, is 'uneven'. as others have noted the camera-work is great, the actors top-notch, the music fine, but this is not a movie that can ride on those alone.
some films can ride on visual impact alone; not this one. if i were only allowed to view snippets of the film, taken from almost anywhere in the story i would be drawn in, i would definitely want to see the rest, but when you put all the snippets together you don't get gravy, you get mush.
while the plot hangs a bit too much melodrama in the wind, in the name of psychological something-or-other,and leaves the film a little emotionally bloated, and while the plot is murky in an unconvincing way, i am not sure the plot alone is to blame for the film's jumbled feeling.
guess i can't quite pin it down. sure, see the film, maybe you'll love it. i vote it an interesting failure.
