yes, some very kubrick-esq scenes/shots throughout. i really loved the cinematography and how scorsese & richardson captured the solemn vastness of the remote island. i hate movies that jump around constantly, as if the audience will lose interest if there isn't constantly quick edits and scene changes, etc.
