Caged Birds

This really drags on, time almost stops passing and days turn into years. The timeline is a mystery for the viewer. A true story that has nothing to offer? Or were the filmmakers just being lazy? A thief from Switzerland, who managed to improve the conditions of his prison stays thanks to his popularity, left me uninspired. The plot almost lacks emotion, everything seems bland and monotonous. The final euphoria is too short-lived and comes too late; the running time could easily have been shorter. The main protagonist’s character is rather flat, her intentions are unclear and her relationship with Walter seems uncertain, so I keep on asking myself: "Why did she do it all for that asshole when there was no tangible affection from her towards him during the whole of the movie?"
