Title: What Have They Done to My Song Ma?
Product review: Splendiferous photography and state-of-the-art talent are throroughly wasted in this pretentious and often head-numbingly unexciting yet tediously overwrought rendition of a challenging novel. Did you like the first sentence of this review? If so, maybe YOU will like this movie. I was eager to see this film from the moment it came out. But this mauling of the James story was so dull that I was barely able to finish watching it. I just kept hoping it would get better. It didn't. Sometimes slow is good. But not in this case. Campion is too interested in creating a directorial aura to care about telling a story in an interesting manner.
