If somehow not in the aisles

So I know exactly now but not what is at stake in the film here. No question, Christoph Waltz good as ever, but really entertain lack of action does the film me after all.
If others do not, I can see as well as the understanding, great actor, the powerful imagery and artistic scenes, a lot of color, slanted characters, etc .... I guess this was a play turned into a film, and that does not always work for each.
