Prioritize:
Eileen is a nearly 100-minute film whose plot can be said, with a bit of exaggeration, to take off some 20 minutes before the end, whereupon the viewer will say: “That was it?” The final showdown simply cannot justify the slow start. Those with a certain amount of patience may be quite happy with it, but I can't imagine that this film will satisfy a higher percentage of viewers. ()
