Title: A boring, poorly-made movie
Review: Meg Ryan is Frannie, an English teacher in New York who gets pulled into a murder investigation when the head of a young woman is found in her garden. As she deals with an old boyfriend who won't leave her alone and with her neurotic, damaged sister, she falls into a charged sexual relationship with the detective investigating the killing. More bodies appear and Frannie has reason to be suspicious that the cop she is attracted to is the killer.In the Cut is a dull movie. The mystery of the killer's identity is spread out so thinly over the whole movie, there is no suspense when you figure out who it is. The sex scenes between Ryan and Ruffalo are gloomy and forced. I didn't believe the supposed attraction between the two. There are a lot of arty set pieces in the film to try and trick you into thinking there is some important subtext here, but there isn't. It's just a boring, poorly-made movie.
