Here is the full comment from Keith:
Some people criticized the movie for its length (123 minutes) and other technical or production matters. Such criticisms surprised me: let's focus on its content and its arguments rather than comparing its technical aspects with movies in general. It would be a pity if viewers resorted to technical criticism as a means to avoid addressing its confronting message themselves or to maintain the conventions of "small talk" in their conversations with others. In fact the movie exposes the conventions of civilization - aspects of the present lives and daily choices of ALL of us - as unsustainable and a serious part of the problem. It is the difficulty we have in making different, uncomfortable choices that the movie challenges us to deal with head on.
