The cinematography in Life of Pi is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Life of Pi and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Life of Pi?
Director clearly thought Life of Pi was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Hot Take: Life of Pi's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, Life of Pi would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Life of Pi actually is?
Everyone praising the Life of Pi performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
