dawdles

Dino is an Italian layabout who dawdles through life on a steady cash drip from his wealthy mother.

And yet, he almost takes pride in his ability to put things off, saying he dawdles on an “Olympic level.”

The story dawdles through its first and second acts, but in its final third does find a more deliberate pace.

Many of Dellario’s gently impressionistic pictures depict Rock Creek as it dawdles through and around large, glistening rocks.

But Schindel struggles with his pacing, and the movie dawdles too long before breaking into a sprint in the final 20 minutes.
