Query: great acting. slow plot - needlessly sad all the way through.

I love the actors in the film. However, the plot itself, aside from slow, was needlessly tragic throughout. Full of co-dependencies and relationships lacking any healthy semblance of love. Lots of manipulation and self-indulgence. The viewer is left with less of a sense of pity for the characters than a general sentiment of disdain.
