...only complaint that can be made is simply that the film is, at two and a half hours, too long. At the same time though, nearly every moment is so fascinating and suspenseful that one doesn’t think too much about the time.

This is true even on the slower songs, like the throwaway closer “All that Remains” and the otherwise enjoyable “Sleepwalker,” which is clearly in the vein of vintage Built to Spill. These tracks present a dreamlike atmosphere reminiscent of Rogue Wave’s early albums, but sabotage this with an ever-present driving beat that prioritizes a misplaced musical...
