NOT WORTH CONSUMING
You can skip the first 45 minutes of this film and you wouldn’t have missed anything, seriously. The pacing was so excruciatingly slow, it’s not until halfway through the film and the story takes off, or starts.
I guess the director was trying to show how shallow the main characters life was before he met Socrates, and his inner struggle with his old self (IMO, the climax of this struggle is the highlight of the film), but it was just too terribly tedious. This could have been a really good movie.
I haven’t read the book, but I’m positive that the message gets across a lot clearly, and it’s sad the movie didn’t do it justice.
