Foenarrates the story of two beautifully young individuals, marred by narrative inertia.
They move through the plot with the sluggishness of a turtle deciding to walk from the U.S. to Antarctica.
They perform inconsequentially menial tasks that add nothing to the story except to pad the runtime until Terrance arrives.
This left me craving coherence or sweet release from the experience entirely.
The editing contributes to the overbearing sense of confusion.
Scenes are disjointed and severed abruptly, rendering a dissonance between sequences that further aggravates the narrative disconnect.
This makes each scene feel isolated, and lacking connective tissue to its counterparts.
Their collaboration captures the desolate, windswept landscapes, with the dusky shots emerging as the saving grace.
Foes stunning visuals cant save it from its overwhelming irregularities.
