It's very difficult to find the cuts. It's impressive from a movie-making standpoint, but you might have to be a bit of a film geek to appreciate it. --- https://imgur.com/ZwO4qO2 Bluer than velvet was the night...

Far-Queue 05/08/20 9:42:43 AM #5:	It's made to present the illusion of being shot with a single camera the entire time, but they do multiple takes and reshoot small portions to sort of stitch the edits together. 1917 was done extremely well using this method. --- https://imgur.com/ZwO4qO2 Bluer than velvet was the night...

FatalAccident 05/08/20 9:50:53 AM #6:	oh ok maybe as a technical exercise it was brilliant, but as far as the movie itself goes the storytelling was just too superficial and the characters had no real depth.

I'm not trying to sell you into changing your opinion, just offering what little perspective I can as to why people made such a big deal out of it. --- https://imgur.com/ZwO4qO2 Bluer than velvet was the night...
