I like art films... sometimes. One of my favorite films of all time is the Russian "Stalker", which I've seen several times. But films are like paintings; some of them have a theme and a purpose, some have none. Some films like paintings seem to be randomly assembled, leaving the viewer to wonder what was on the artist's mind.
This film isn't exactly pointless. It's just that it's a long way to go to make a single point. Some viewers may enjoy the subtlety and slow reveal. Others may not appreciate a film that comes very near to being pointless.
The cinematography isn't good enough to claim attention. Acting is barely present and the directing is minimal, without much of note. There may perhaps be some in the audience who will find this an exquisite cup of tea. But it's likely that a lot more will find it mediocre or even "boring".
I was interested all the way through, but in the last third repeatedly wondered where they were taking the film. That's never good. I won't say anything about the ending, but if one is looking for an art film... this just barely musters consideration.
