Movie #3019 "All That Breathes" (HBO) I'll make this short and sweet. I was trying to watch this because it is nominated for an academy award for Documentary feature this year. I watched it for about an hour and then turned it off. I decided life is way too short to waste my time watching a badly edited film. I had better things to do with my time than to watch long passages of people staring at each other or at birds that aren't doing anything but flying in the sky. One of the characters complained through the whole film, and he was so annoying and one-dimensional that I turned it off. It got some award at the Cannes Festival, and I'm still wondering why --- I am thinking the crop of movies is just really bad this year? This is a 2 out of 5 --- there were maybe two or three shots that were worth taking a second look at. This is a nope for me.
