After watching the movie in theaters, i can say i didn't get the best experience while the movie was trying so hard to be an "art" movie.
Let me first go through what i liked. For sure the cinematography was up top. We got a chance to take a closer look at Napoli, also giving aesthetically satisfying shots. Secondary, I enjoyed the music a lot giving lots of Italian vibes, and sound effects were used efficiently. They knew where to use sounds.
Here comes the part where I hardly liked and understood. The plot. Seriously, for the whole movie i was thinking what this movie was trying to explain. Without a proper story to tell, the movie was more than 2 hours long. Later while reading other reviews I was able to catch a glimpse at the plot but that shouldn't be the way you understand the subject rather movie should clearly emphasize its purpose. Also characters were not introduced properly so they fell short, Gary Oldman comes in, says a few fancy sentences and leaves etc. If I want to dive deep about the plot and characters, the review might be a little long.
To sum up, even though an aesthetically satisfying movie, it feels null, boring and leaves you empty handed with absolutely no clue about the story with disconnected scenes one after another.
