Actually, they are all very good actors. Maybe that was another let down, for me.

You quoted me here.

We could have had more time with them if he had cut the dead boy in the beginning, and the dinner sequence right after that. It doesn't establish enough. So cut it out.
I disagree there. I really don't give a shit about getting to know every minor character. That background-establishing that most movies start off with makes me want to fast forward. I can assume all those traditional family&friends relationships ... without having to sit through them. Unless there is something important there, skip it. Get to the ideas.
But actually, we DO agree. I don't need to see all of them either. That's what I'm saying. Eliminate a few characters, so that I can get to know the main ones better. Then I can have more sympathy for them.
I've enjoyed debating the film with you.
It's about time I meet someone on this board that can enjoy film as much as me.
