No, seriously….Aaron Couch’s 1.30.26 THR story sounds all too familiar, unfortunately.
The ADD fast-forward trend has seemingly been increasing since over the least 12 to 15 years, and certainly over the last ten.
That said, I could probably come up with a fairly long list of acclaimed films that I’ve also had trouble sitting through, or have even dozed through portions of. Unlike the vast majority of snooty, know=it-all film crickets and essayists, I’m just being honest. This is mostly a failure on my part, of course, but in the case of, say, Mascha Schilinski‘s Sound of Falling or Mona Fastvold‘s The Testament of Ann Lee…
