The guy in front of me when I was walking out of the theater said “That was the most boring movie I’ve ever seen.” I guess he’s never sat through Radu Jude’s Dracula. Or the 1969 version of Dr. Dolittle.
But I know why he was bored. The trailers make this look like a zombie movie. And it is, but not very much. It’s really more of a contemplative story about an estranged relationship that happens to have some bodies coming back to life. The zombies are slow and easily avoidable as long as you don’t do something silly like go off on adventure by yourself to try and work things out with your husband.
