@adrianascreatives: Your wide shots can all look incredible and the film can still feel like a screensaver. A wide should tell us where we are. A close-up should reveal something the wide could not. A reaction should change how we understand the moment before it. If two shots say exactly the same thing, one of them probably does not need to be there. Do not ask whether every image is beautiful. Ask whether removing it changes the scene. If the answer is no, the edit has already decided for you.
