However, the single-take format is not without its flaws. By refusing to cut, the director sacrifices narrative pacing. Without the ability to ellipse time—skipping a boring car ride or a long walk—the film must endure the dead space between plot points. This can lead to sequences that feel dragged out or self-indulgent. The form prioritizes the "how" over the "what," sometimes turning the movie into a technical stunt rather than a narrative journey.
