Title: "Photogenic but Lacks Dramatic Intensity"
Review: Produced and marketed as a "tragedy", this subtitled film has essentially two parts--neither of which is cinematically noteworthy. The first portion, for example, deals with the protagonist's family and work life--the mounting financial stressors predominate. The second segment deals with the family's attempts to cope with a major loss. The characters, children and physical landscape are certainly photogenic, but as a dramatic portrait there's really no intensity or compelling urgency for one to rush out and purchase this film.
