Negative Positive
Title: annoyed and disappointed
Review: What a waste of wonderful Bill Nighy and Kelly Macdonald (Gosford Park) on a preachy, holier-than-thou anti-establishment force-feeding session. I was prepared to enjoy the personal story of Lawrence and Gina, but alas I just felt manipulated. Once I realized I was a prisoner in the Evangelical Church of Righteous Indignation I was unable to appreciate such scenes as the one in which Gina says, "and it is possible in Reykjavik to have a night of something quite close to love." In fact, I ended up just thinking Gina was petulant and bad-mannered, and frankly unkind to the man she's supposed to be falling in love with. Shut up, Gina! Shut up! Supposedly this movie is 1 hour, 35 minutes long. It seems much longer.
Is the review positive or negative?
