"character study" synonym for


... boring, pretentious shit.
All great movies are more or less character studies. But you would never brand The Godfather or Jaws as "character studies".

Well, some character studies are not meant to include mob hits or killer sharks….sometimes the characters life is a little more sedate.

Well in the case of this film, 'character study' means it has great performances in it. The movie is boring but the performances are worth seeing, if only once, cus like I said, the film itself is dull, lol.
