It's quite possibly the worst way to judge a movie.
I remember some of my best movie experiences as luxuriously languid: a hot summer day when you want to stay in the air conditioning as long as possible. The idea of wanting that to end, of having anything better to do than that, just doesn’t make sense to me. I happen to love a long movie—at 128, and they both feel long, but in a good way. Sumptuous. Maybe I’m just lucky that I have the time to think and feel this way.
Movies aren’t soylent, units of entertainment to be shoved into your face so you get the good-time nutrients without having to spend too much time thinking about it.As I scrolled through the “90-Minute Movie” category on Netflix, I noticed it doesn’t even stay true to its 90-minutes-or-less promise, nor do some of the people who are always crowing about the majesty of the 90-minute length. There are plenty of 93- and 94-minute movies in Netflix’s category, and at least one 98-minute one.
