most audiences won't have the chance to watch "Billy Lynn" at its high frame rate (only two theaters in the U.S. will accommodate it that way), which is probably for the best, because the fancy presentation mostly serves as a distraction
it's a strange test subject for this technology and Lee's two-hour argument that this will be how all films should be viewed in the future is a failed one
"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" winds up being a wearying experience, not because of its emotional content but because of its lack of cohesion and its ultimate collapse into gross and unearned sentimentality
