The first 20 minutes of the movie are great but the rest of the movie feels long and boring. Acting by the lead actors is phenomenal and keeps you from walking out. The movie is pretty weak other than the acting and the screenplay. Have seen a lot of movies with similar premise that are better. This movie tried to marry relationship and court room drama into one but failed.

If it's going for relationship issues then Ingmar Bergman, Rossellini and Antonioni has made much better movies covering the subject. If it's going for mystery the South Korean movie Burning has a lot more going on. If it's going for courtroom drama I suggest Japanese movie I Just Didn't Do It.

It's an ok movie. Wished it was shorter.

Why are they talking so much? It is fast talking. I got ok with that 5 minutes in but then the lead actor just talks so much. His scenes are painful to watch. Like someone else said in the reviews here that it is too mechanical. There are no emotions in this movie just dialogues that they have to finish in 90 minutes. The story is boring as well. She never leaves the office and after a while it gets boring. Looks like they can everything that fits the plot from the window of their office. I know the whole movie is about making her stay back and derail her marriage plans but the plot device used for that feels forced.
