I can't tell why this doesn't quite work
This should be really good. The plot is sound, the actors are great, the direction works but somehow it didn't make me sit on the edge of the seat shaking like it should. It should be exciting and I should be scared as to what is going to happen but I was just meh. Its not bad at all, its just not amazing either.

"This film contains some of my favorite quiet moments in all of cinema, and Kieślowski is a master of using restraint as a means to tell a powerful story. Small moments in a Kieślowski film can often carry the weight and impact of a sledgehammer. Just watch the beginning of Blue and you will see what I mean. And while you’re at it, I recommend checking out the rest of the great Three Colors trilogy."

"This true story left a hole in my head and in my heart. A woman on death row in Egypt decides that she wants to tell her story before her execution. She is in prison because she's killed her pimp, but even looking death in the eye she feels it’s the best thing she ever did, for in a weird way it sets her free. Painful, complicated, sad, and triumphant—all at once."
