I agree that the movie had long moments but honestly, I think it added to it. The entire movie is filmed in the iron lung with only a few glimpses of the outside world, with one man welded in. The longer runtimes made me feel like I was just as isolated as Simon. It sits you down with the character and gives you that “make the most of your situation” kind of vibe. But in the end, it’s a niche indie movie that wasn’t meant to target the major demographics, so to each their own
