3 hours of glorious visuals and natural music without the intrruption of the plot!

First I must say that this movie is beautiful, colour palettes, set designs, outside sceneries, everything are mesmerising and so striking. Movie has a one linear plot: "A trained assassin shows heart in a mission, then is sent to kill her former betrothed/cousin." And this is practically the whole story.

One glaring thing about this movie is that it's slow, I mean really slow. While I was watching, more than once I noticed a scene has been still for too long and I thought that accidentally I'd paused the video only to see it's playing (*,*) Dialogues are far and between and when a character is talking, he/she speaks sentences with a several seconds pause in-between. Because of the nature of the movie subplots and details are hard to grasp. Acting is superb, they show their characters inner struggles by body language relatively well. All in all even if you don't follow the plot and story, it's a beautiful background while you do your work!
