The structure’s execution is a little too fast and loose for my liking. It’s often unclear what exactly we are seeing especially in the scenes Usnavi is not there to witness. Are these scenes meant to be a retelling from second-hand information or are they outside of Usnavi’s narrated story? Naturally, the counter argument is ‘why does this matter?’. The answer is- it doesn’t. But that’s the problem, because it should matter, otherwise it’s just lazy story telling. It’s bad filmmaking to employ a structure which asks the audience to consider the unreliability of what they are seeing and then not do anything with it.
