User Reviews
More than a tad overlong, but still an insightful examination into the lives of those slowly realizing their lives won’t get any better.
A quiet slow depressing experience like nothing before. I never thought I'd want to rewatch a four-hour foreign film. I fell in love with it
If you feel like really challenging yourself to watch a dauntingly long story that engages every level of cinematic creativity, this is it.
It’s a slow burning four hours character study. Depressing but powerful
Not for everyone, but if you have 4 hours of spare time, it's well worth it. Dark but beautiful, this is a masterpiece and a piece of art.
Well directed epic adventure of nihilistic heroes
Maybe not everyone's favorite but there is a certain magic to the film ... it burns slowly ...
a story of flawed characters suffering through a day when life becomes too much, carefully constructed to capture tedium, pain and emptiness
Beautiful film, definitely for people who like slow, sensitive, subtle movies, one of the best of that kind.
Probably the worst time of the year to watch this. The filmmaking is so exquisite that when it finally cuts to a medium shot you notice.
