The whole thing moved in leaps like a dream. Full of extraordinary images, sustained silences and tightening terror.

Stick with the slow-starting Shooting the Past...Not as profound as it thinks it is, but ingratiating and even suspenseful.

Interesting. The photos in this are extraordinary. The movie itself was a little slow, and rather anticlimatic.
