The full time is 2 hours and 16 minutes. It feels like Leslie has been at least 40 minutes long.
It feels amazing to read it all in one breath. I just watched "Bad Belly in the Night" and I still don't have much mastery of the director's style. I just feel that the rhythm of the film is a bit weird and messy. Later, after watching this movie, I have a little insight. This messy feeling is because he edited it very realistically. Quarrels accounted for almost 80% of the film’s space. They occurred between husband and wife, family members, parents of children’s classmates and even strangers; from any cause, sex, money, trust, conflicts between children or pure hormones factor. Only a small part of these conflicts were resolved. For example, the couple acted together in front of the principal (I liked that section very much). Most of the conflicts went directly to the next section of daily life after the two and a half minutes of dialogue. Disputes in real life and embarrassment in emotional life.
The magic is that in about the last 15 minutes, all the problems were solved. Everyone went from f*ck each other hysterically, to calmly complaining to each other or helping each other. Because of what? . Because you fu*king ruined my life, but I still love you till my fu*king death. This is 40 years old. It belongs to the love of middle-aged people who are tortured by pressure. It is for people with various emotional disorders for various reasons. Affection. We are also in real life, how can we have so much time to solve all the problems and quarrels, remember to each other "he/she is a good person, I TMD love him/her", the past will naturally pass.
The director is Leslie Mann’s husband...
