too late is a real feat of directorial masturbation. i guess i am supposed to comment on how they made it look like they shot the whole movie in five takes, possibly by shooting the whole movie in five takes, but i feel like that is a little too obvious a thing to comment on. i could also comment on the nonlinear storytelling, but really they had to do that in order to make the story at all interesting.
well shit, that actually leaves me with very little to comment on. actually, i do have something to say about the take at the outdoor movie theater. just the sheer amount of wat in that sequence was mind-blowing. it is an outdoor theater, plus a boxing ring? and the lady runs them both, simultaneously? and she used to be partners with the detective guy? but she was an exotic dancer in the previous scene? was she undercover or something? and she forgot to go back to the boxing ring to introduce the subsequent round? how did the guy get uncuffed and run away? it was just a lot, you know?
too late gets one really really really really really really really very really incredibly long take. so long.
