Review of Pink Floyd: The Wall

pink floyd: the wall is a film that i went into feeling that it had lots of promise to be one of my favorite movies. the thought of having an experience purely with explosive visuals to accompany what is regarded by many to be one of the greatest albums of all time is something that remarkably interested me as someone who's not very into music. entering with high expectations and immeasurable hopes, i was sorely disappointed to have come out thinking that the wall was largely a bore with some sporadically impressive sequences that succeed at matching the quality of the music it accompanies. firstly, i want to start with every aspect i enjoyed because this is, by no means, a terrible film, and i genuinely want to give this a fair chance with the hopes that it ends up growing on me over the coming years. the way pink floyd's music is incorporated with what it's trying to portray is admirable in its ambitions. as the audience watches, it becomes clear in the wall's core that the filmmakers have a deep love for the album's essence and wanted to do it justice in the most grandiose way possible. the sort of devotion and care felt and put into this is exactly the kind of thing i love to see with more experimental films like this. the animated segments are truly a highlight. they have a clear talent at stealing the show with pure creativity and grounded absurdity at its forefront, allowing for a completely breathtaking experience. unfortunately, the positive aspects aforementioned are very intermittent sequences of the runtime. a large majority of it inevitably drags as the film unsuccessfully attempts to channel a healthy balance between subtly establishing a lingering storyline while also retaining its musical madness. when i visualize the overall film, the portions i enjoy are shrouded in tangents of uninteresting situations and characters that i couldn't get invested in. "invested" is admittedly inappropriate word choice as the script isnt attempting to be a character-driven drama, with countlessly rich personalities, but i still think that for its intent, it failed to have a satisfying finale due to sloppy handling of its muted fragments. its snail-like pacing is arguably the worst aspect of this. i felt as if most scenes, musical and animated, went on for way too long for my taste; its honestly unfathomable that this only had a runtime of 95 minutes as it felt no shorter than two and a half hours. while i can absolutely admire pink floyd: the wall for having such an earnest, empirical concept for a film, its execution of ideas left a lot to be desired in terms of its pacing, more specifically, its manner of trotting to the end credits.
