Recently watched this and was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t overstay its welcome, but I also found the pace sort of transfixing. The pace was neither overwhelming nor felt overly rushed, it simply felt…Right.
So I guess another way to put it might be, what other movies are well-paced and not too long?
Edgar Wright films may also be worth watching, if you haven’t already. They have a different sort of pacing than Wes Anderson, but to me they also hit a sweet spot of not overstaying their welcome. Generally, almost every detail has a callback or payoff, and they have a weird way of both optimizing and subverting the genre they are based on.
Shaun of the Dead is a spot on call. Love that flick.
