[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Casablanca?

Honestly, Casablanca would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Casablanca?

Look, I wanted to love Casablanca. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: Casablanca is the most overrated film of the decade

Everyone praising the Casablanca performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
