With very little effort, this film could have been an Oscar contender, but as it is, it's a bit confusing and a little overlong.
Too many irrelevant scenes that are completely unnecessary to the plot or any characters' motivations go on for too long, while specific scenes necessary to the storyline are abruptly cut short.
I have to wonder if there is a director's cut, that, while it would probably be longer (and this film is long enough as it is), would also offer more coherency as well as closure for some of the characters and situations. As the movie is now, it leaves too many unanswered questions.
