The film feels
snappy for
much of its 100 minutes despite proceedings moving at a languorous
pace, and that this is the first feature film for Achache is quite an achievement.
Much like 2015's Bone Tomahawk, Zahler is uninterested in your
snappy 2017
pacing; his story moves on a slow, stubborn, deliberate path, and time expands and contracts to suit the director's focus.
