CGiii Comment
Breitman takes it too far.
It starts off well. The camera work and transitions are stunning.
And then, it becomes littered with redundant scenes - the kid playing the guitar is excruciatingly long.
After a while all those transitions become invasive.
The continual harping back to the late night conversation is clumsy - it does nothing to move the story forward.
All that beautiful technical work stagnates in the quagmire that Breitman has created...due to being completely focused on something that is totally uninteresting.
In the end - it amounts to nothing - because of an overly-indulgent director.
This could have been a remarkable film.
