Negative Positive
Title: Sadly, a flat and inconsistent film with little dramatic tension
Review: Every supporting character is one dimensional while Scarlett Johanssen, looking absolutely beautiful, is given predictable situations and dialogue against the stoic and clueless Laura Linney. The voice over setting this film up as an anthropological study does not remain throughout some of the most important incidences in the film. It becomes a non-entity set against flat, nondramatic moments. A disappointment all the way 'round about what could be a compelling subject.
