Turgid overwrought and boring
The book on which this film is based is simple, elegant and worthy.
The film misunderstands those concepts and attempts to be 'worthy' through long lingering shots of nothing, sad dramatic music, slow motion symbolic footage.
It doesn't work. It's terrible. This doesn't remember the lost lives, this seeks to wallow in pity for them. That's not worthy. This film is not worthy. Buy the book instead.
