All aboard the (slow) feel train

When rating movies I usually have two ratings - one for mainstream and one for artsy / Lithuanian movies. It's kinda sad that Lithuanian cinema still hasn't produced anything that would impress me or I wouldn't leave cinema theater without a thought "ok, this was good... for a Lithuanian movie". And this is exactly the case - it's ok for a Lithuanian movie.From the script / directing point of view I was annoyed at the start - extremely long, very static scenes that are often associated with classic / old Lithuanian cinema. But after a while I got kinda used to that and thought "if this was the art style for decades, maybe this is / should be the signature of Lithuanian movies?". Similar genre Japanese counterparts are also tend to be this slow, but it's not immediately a bad sign. In this case the slowness did convey the mood pretty well. Oh yeah, I slightly got lost in details, so the script may have been a bit more forgiving (but probably that's my problem).Regarding the characters - character development was not that evident, yet I kind of understand that this may have been done in order to convey the ephemeral mood. At least there was no theatrical overacting / weird & unnatural dialogs - this ruins Lithuanian movies way too often. So no criticism regarding the cast.Regaring the techical details - I kinda was bummed seeing so much chromatic abberation in the movie. At first I thought maybe this was a cinema hardware bug, but... probably it was just left during the post-process (should have been removed in my oppinion).Nevertheless, despite all the mentioned shortcomings, the movie did convey the mood very well - I may have recognized similar situations from my life at some point and left the cinema with an uneasy feeling. This type of movie is not my cup of tea (to say the least), but I do believe that the director (as well as all other cast members) has achieved their goal.

Story was good in theory, but production failed

When you look back and think of it, story was good and promising. Actors, specially leading actresses (sisters) also did a good job. However, following storyline was too struggling, as shots were put very randomly, it was a chaos. The concept of time-jumping is good, and maybe challenging to produce, and was a good idea for such story, but it was done poorly. Also, i got angry watching the movie because of in-proportionally prolonged scenes that were "empty" anyways. I feel like no thought on how frustrated viewer will be awkwardly watching such empty shots that feel like forever. Also, i missed attention being paid to the dynamics of separate relationships, as there were almost none 1:1 interactions. I feel like this is a missed opportunity.

Why it was a long audience torture instead of 15 minutes of meaningful watching

As usually in all the dramas I wanted to feel both: the depth and the meaning of actions, to find the answers and explanations putting it all together. I really tried. It was so slow and it was hard.If you could just separate the picture and the sound parts of this movie, the picture was so much better.The dialogues... They were too weak, sometimes with poor articulation.In the part with indoor swimming pool it seemed like the actors are just improvising all the text.The part with the girl on the shore by the lake seemed to be so important, but the conversations and acting looked unnatural.This movie is called Sisters (in Lithuanian), however the most bright line was definitely not about them.And the naked scene. Just why?
