Watched Shadows and Lies.
Great acting, good cinematography, cliched story, and a way too limited incidental soundtrack.
Imagine if you took a normal gangster film and attenuated it... the action, the dialog, the speed... everything. You'd get Shadows and Lies.
It had one scene I absolutely loved, and two more I enjoyed quite a bit too. Those should've served as some introspective contrast in a normal gangster film, but as they are, they were just some nifty highlights of a huge borefest. The movie also asks you to fill in a lot of the important details by yourself, and I just don't think it deserves the effort.
Interesting experiment, but not much entertainment value.
