The Vast of Night (2019)

This is pretty much a half hour radio play interspersed with long empty tracking shots and jarring formal allusions to The Twilight Zone, a 60 year old show which regularly packed more ideas and visual oomph into a single episode than this film has in its entire runtime. The two leads are, respectively, as boring as the story and as irritatingly smug as the exhibitionist film-making. I gave up about halfway through and skipped to the end.

Rating: Very bad.
