Despite an auspicious beginning and an interesting and promising development on the characters involved on the dictionary project at the end of the nineteenth century, which seems to be the central theme, the plot meanders tediously through the narratives of (implausible) love, religious redemption and the vagaries of mental illness and academic institutions without the viewer not knowing too well where it is all going. Tedious: too long, slow, or dull; tiresome or monotonous. Favourite synonyms: dreary, soporific, plodding, lacklustre.
