2. appreciate the subtle and low-key approach, you need to make the product a little more engaging
than it was at certain points. Some of the more dramatic moments didn't play out as well due to
this suppression of emotion. Those scenes would've been more impactful if a few of the actors
had been a bit more personable while portraying their roles. There are a few of these scenes that
had the ability to create "WOW" moments, but they sometimes feel awkward or not as poignant as
they should have.
Although this movie was more than a couple of hours long I don't think it was long enough. Tinker
Tailor Soldier Spy is a good movie, but it felt too tight and it appeared obvious to me that some
things were left out, compressed or just skipped over all together. Making it longer would have
created the proper breathing room necessary to make the film more complete and would've given
it the strength it needed to truly be great and memorable.
