Fantastic!
everything you have heard about this movie is true.
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
