Title: Actors should not direct themselves in movies
Product review: Actors should not direct themselves in movies (Clint Eastwood the only exception) and this proves the Rule. Julie Delpy wrote a halfway decent script but she needed outside Leadership to bring out the True spirit and Life of Erzebet Bathory. The acting was wooden and without life, and the script and supporting roles without depth. This could have been an amazing movie, maybe even Oscar worthy--true life, amazing settings and costumes, interesting story. But the direction and cinematography, the editing, made this a mediocre film barely worthy of note. Too bad. The life of Erzebet Bathory, the first recorded female serial killer, is one of the great mysteries of history and certainly worthy of better. I suggest you wait until Amazon drops the rental price to $1.99, or until Hollywood puts this in the hands of a better actress and director, before watching a movie about the Amazing Erzebet Bathory
