Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Did you people see the same film I saw?
Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
"It's impossible to express in words what Dehli Dance is". That's the line from the movie and that's also true about the movie. It's about life, about death, about us who are living that life without true understanding of either life or death. But writing those words won't describe the true message of the movie: words are empty, only the experience opens our eyes. The movie is minimalistic. There are same 4-5 actors (with small variations) sitting on the same hospital bench discussing and living through different situations. That's all. The movie is extremely honest. It's showing how illusive and far from the truth are our "traditional" textbook concepts of good and bad, love, happiness, ethics and many more. The movie is more intellectual and philosophical than emotional. It will touch you if you were looking for answers to the same questions: what is life, what is death, what is love etc. If you likes Von Trier's "Melancholia" and "Dogville", you're likely to like this one too. Watching this movie may open your eyes on life. Or, you might be left wondering what all that talk was about and switch to another Hollywood blockbuster with good guys after little complications successfully shooting the bad guys.
