I hear it’s a very slow movie. I think movies don’t have to be slow to be good.

It didn't feel slow to me.  I will say parts are atmospheric, so if you find being immersed in an alien land to be off putting you may find those scenes not to your liking.  There are scenes where the acting is more subdued, but that channels the realism and sense of unease to me.  When there are action scene I'd say they are pretty intense, one in the middle in particular is terrifying in way most horror films fail to achieve.

I don’t find being immersed in an alien world offputting. I do find unnecessarily slow movies offputting though. The movie is on Netflix anyway so no huge loss if I watch it.
