Visitors is an experimental black and white documentary about faces, slow zooms, and even slower pans. With a slogging and unvarying Philip Glass score the film offers almost nothing. Through a series of faces, landscapes, buildings, and repeated shots of a gorilla the film is purported to "reveal humanity's trance-like relationship with technology" but in actuality has no point of view with no discernible connection between the overlong unwavering images.
Pretentious and trudging
Visitors does not change tempo and does not offer an actual message. So abstract it is incoherent. A film designed to lull you to sleep as opposed to entertain or enlighten. The trailer is the most compelling(and fulfilling) aspect of the film.
Don't See It.
