There's a fair bit of criticism but that's only because the film is actually quite good in parts. (If it was rubbish, then I can't be bothered to spend time on a long critique).

I loved the style at first, especially the backlit smoking shots and sat back in anticipation of a series of sublime images but then it descended into average framing and lighting which only looked acceptable because of the high contrast monochrome "film noir look".

I found the lighting continuity (or rather the lack of it) really annoying.

It was bum-numbingly slow though. A bit like a pretentious 1960's french movie and by the seven minute mark I was screaming "Just bloody well get on with it!".

The sound perspective is also off at times.

Just to put this in perspective, this is ten times better than most of the videos which get posted here but it fails (for me) on those few crucial points.
