9/10, too fast paced, but overall pretty good!
I think the plot moved too fast in the second act, it would be great if they applied more layers to the plot before the last act, it would helped the film to develop a better color pallet and with that cause a more durable effect.
But it was the first film of this kind, I hope they continue with this series, I always wanted to watch concrete curing in real time, or maybe in an epic about continents drifting!
Keep the good work, I eager for the sequence!!! I'll watch now in 0,25x to find Easter eggs and create an Youtube video about the details!

When I first saw this I thought "here we go, more Oscar bait with no substance" boy was I wrong. I laughed, I cried and thought about this long after the end.
The cinematography, actor and script came together beautifully to create a true artistic masterpiece.
Highly recommend

Absolutely loved this film; it spoke to me and inspired me like no other film has. I would love to see a sequel or maybe even a prequel.
If you enjoy an action-packed, edge-of-your-seat film, this is the movie for you. The director did not hold back on this captivating adventure, full of mystery and suspense. This film will move you in ways you never thought possible.
With every layer of paint, it's like it's adding another piece to your soul and filling that empty part of yourself you had long forgotten about, bringing you back to that long-lost part of your inner self.
This film is one for the ages. I could not recommend it enough.

Amazing monumental movie. Funny, touching, beautiful, with a great acting and brilliant twists. Addictive from start to finish. Pure cinema. 12/10 The best movie ever made.
Here in the land of the free and the home of "sex is worse than violence," the MPAA reviews and rates every single movie that gets a wide release, thereby ensuring that little Timmy will never be subjected to the unimaginable horror of seeing a single female nipple floating amidst a sea of simulated carnage. Across the pond, they have a similarly draconian organization called the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), whose review process costs filmmakers the equivalent of $9 per minute of footage. This is a particular problem for independent filmmakers like Charlie Lyne, who doesn't just have $1,300 to toss around when he has to pay his staff in whatever the fancy British equivalent of Monopoly money is. Britty Bucks? To stand up to this tyranny, Lyne took to Kickstarter. Now, you're probably thinking that he did so in order to raise the funds to get one of his films rated, and in a way you'd be right... but this was not just any film. See, Lyne promised that for every nine dollars and change he raised, he'd submit footage of another minute of paint drying to the BBFC. He raised enough to force the stuffy British censorship authority to dutifully sit through around 10 hours of white paint drying on a brick wall. The board assigned the imaginatively titled Paint Drying a U rating (the equivalent of a G here in the United States) before notifying Peter Jackson that his record had been broken.
