This should have been made as a TV series (Period). The idea is ambitious, the characters are fairly interesting, and the production is decent. The main problem is that the movie tries to tell the story of too many characters in a very short period of time (due to the movie runtime limitations). The story feels rushed and the events seem crammed. You don't get enough time to connect with any of the characters which is a huge problem for a movie that is supposedly full of suffering and misery. I started to lose interest towards the end as the formula got too tiring.
I hope that the likes of Netflix/Shahid/OSN pick up the idea and make it into a proper TV series - at least a single 45-min episode per character so we can have enough time to connect.
