If one wanted to watch a documentary about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, Zero Dark Thirty almost fits the bill. That is to say, it almost feels like a documentary with its lack of entertainment value. The historical accuracy of the film is not quite documentary level, however — resulting in an overly long, if technically competent, snooze of a film.

Edie is a film that relies entirely on its visuals — the story is just an excuse to show off Scottish landscapes, which do, admittedly, look great. The movie’s half-assed attempt at masquerading as anything but a traveling advertisement for Mount Suilven feels almost insulting.
