Such an impactful movie. I think the length of the movie really made it. They could have been a little more clear and elaborate at the end about what happened to the people involved. I didn’t keep track of the years, and 1957 and other years they mentioned meant nothing to me. I went and read the Wikipedia of King and Earnest, and that made me feel a lot more shock and anger than the end of the movie. Overall a haunting masterpiece. What did you think of it?
The length is what kills it for me. I do not have that much free time consecutively to commit to it. And splitting it up seems less appealing.
I watched it over two nights and didn’t feel like it lost anything for what it’s worth. Because it’s a slow burn it lends itself well to a split.
Yeah I put this off for the length commitment and I can’t stand to watch betrayal on screen (some old trauma). I’m glad I watched it.
