Maybe there’s a better movie in here if you shaved away 1/3 of it

Scenes lurch from a visually beautiful rooftop kiss scene to terrible extended fly-throughs of architecture student's final year thesis 3D model with GIMP photocopy filter put over it. Characters lurch from great ott theatre-kid performances to plainly quoting Markus Aurelius directly at…
