Stoker

Man, oh man, does this thing take a while to get going. It's not even clear what genre this movie is until about an hour into it. When that genre finally reveals itself, and it is a FUN and surprising revelation, the movie starts to become interesting. But it's over too quickly  after that and you’re left wondering why you sat there for the first hour. The performances from all the principles, Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska, are all top-notch, but the pace is brutal. Is it me? Am I impatient? Have I been watching too much TV? Possibly. Or, possibly, the filmmakers here could take a lesson from Argo about pacing.
