The director deliberately keeps us at a distance from the characters. We watch seemingly every scene from the opposite end of a hallway or from the next room. It's almost as if the director just didn't want to bother shooting any coverage. Every scene is just a single (badly framed) master shot. The dialogue is difficult to hear. And very little happens. Maybe this works as a play. It doesn't work as a movie. And the filming style certainly didn't help.
