Be patient

Surprised myself by giving this a relatively high rating but, having endured 'After the Hunt' the day before, I found this film full of interest and subtlety.

Yes- there are extended scenes during which I felt perplexed as to their detail and longevity and yet I remained focussed and intrigued.

No- I didn't 'get' the anti-war connections or some of the relationships and yet this did not deter me from wanting to continue.

Yes- some left and missed the irony - I think- of the ending. I'd like to see it again to consolidate my thoughts.

An oddity but well worth an open-minded viewing!

Great acting. Horrible pacing.

The premise of this movie is great, which I won't recap here. All the actors are great and there are some of my favorites here: Josh O'Connor, Hope Davis, Abi Hoffman. It's the pace that killed this movie for me. I get this is more of a character study than a heist movie, but still, long panning shots of a boarding house room or two characters walking down a country lane while it snows, did nothing to advance my understanding of the character or advance the plot. It really felt like a 60 minute short film stretched to 90+. That said, the performances are well-crafted and interesting.

Hard to watch it till the end

I watched this movie in a sneak preview, so I knew nothing about it and wanted to be surprised. Over all I got the feeling this movie (showing the end of the sixties I guess) promotes old cars and busses from that time, has the speed of 60 years ago, has a very confusing script and mostly shows how to give a definition of a looser. On top of that the jazz music does not work at all with the images and the story telling. So, I was surprised but in a bad way!

Oceans 0,5

A film like its main Character: bumbling, at times slow, unorganized but also very stylish and - all in all - nice to look at.

Great performances by the cast are made redundant by at times terrible pacing and editing.

This film feels like a nap on a foggy Sunday afternoon in October.

If you've seen it, you'll understand.

Liked it but would probably not watch again.

Prime Cannes-bait.

So unnecessary

I watched this at London Film Festival and it was really testing my patience. I do not understand what compelled its makers to do this movie? It was a bland plate of nothingness miming serving you food while all you're getting is air!

Quite a shame since I loved Josh O'Conner in Challengers and La Chaimera but this was a complete miss despite his not-so-bad American accent.
