Has less to do about length and more about not sure of what they're trying to say, how to close.

*mild spoiler do not read if you don't want to know*

The main character doesn't really learn a thing in the end which is truer to life, but less satisfying when you've built a story around a traditional arc (which this one is).

I'm going to have an impossible time writing this review and a lot of that is because i've been going to see Nick Ray movies every night.

And alot say the running time has to do with this. BTW, have you guys reviewed it yet?
