Query: The end does not justify the means

I have no problem with movies that are slow per se. I have loved lots of movies that other people have found long and slow. This movie is just long and slow without any justification for being so. I thought that there would eventually be some payoff for its seeming emptiness but none came. There is something to be said for trailers that don't give away too much particularly when there is an unexpected ending in store, but in this case I just feel that all the hype was very misleading. There were some good performances but this movie was just plain dull. That's two hours of my life that could have been better spent reading.
