The first half is extremely sloppy, dull, and overlong. There’re some terrible dialogues and sequences that I don’t know if are intentionally hilarious. Lawrence in this part is a totally uninteresting archetypical character and many sequences are just repeating his personalities over and over. Luckily the story turns out to be engaging and something I really can start to care since the second half of the film. The political plays in this part are some of the best I’ve ever seen. Characters really start to develop and become complex. The film becomes way more enjoyable as conflicts intensify. The cinematography is beautiful and the actors’ performances are great throughout nevertheless
