I finally watched the movie, on a snowy day! 
It’s a pretty movie, but it’s really mid compared to the novel.
It’s basically a trailer for the novel, I’m not exaggerating when I say that 70% of the story has been totally skipped 
So, I would honestly not recommend watching without reading the book first.

And yet it’s still 3 hours long…?
I guess the book does pack a lot of story. I saw a review that said that the movie felt more like a bunch of disconnected scenes than a single narrative, and I thought yeah, that’s what the book is like. But if they also skipped most of the book then I can understand how it would feel even more that way.

That’s exactly what it felt like for 3 hours
I mean the book is 800 pages+ and is mainly told through narration and not conversations. Honestly, everything I loved about the book wasn’t in the movie. For example, Tokuji is shown only once in the movie
