Blurb Movie Reviews- 'Swoon'

I wanted to hate it because it moved so slowly. But by the end, it is interesting to see the dynamic between the two main characters. It is the story of these two guys, who kill this kid, as part of a kidnapping plot to extort money. Based on a true story.

While the pacing is really slow, and there is minimal dialogue, these effects almost make it look and feel like it was a movie made back during when these events took place [1920's]. It comes off as being a styish pretentious movie at first, but the feel of it becomes a character as well.

One thing that doesn't kinda of make sense, is at the beginning, you see Leo and Dick exchange rings, as if some sort of 'wedding' ritual. But by the end, Dick has turned on Leo, and tells the cops that Leo was the one whol killed the kid, even thouh it was Dick.

What was also interesting, is how matter of fact Leopold and Dick are by the time they get convicted and taken to trial. They act almost proud of what the had done. Interesting piece of film.
