Negative Positive
Title: weak and disappointing.
Review: This is a poor film. The storyline seems to have potential at the start but totally fails to deliver. The biggest flaw in the film for me was that I failed to make any kind of connection with the main characters especially that of George (Daniel Auteil). I had no empathy for them whatsoever which turned into a disinterest as the film rolled on. I've no problems with Juliet Binoche, she is a brilliant actress and did what she was asked but in this instance it was far too little. She is capable of conveying so much more feeling than this. In my opinion the weakness of this film is due to the director, the story is ok and could have been so much better. One final note which I did not like about the film; there is a scene where a cockerel clearly has it's head cut off. Although this happens throughout the world everyday I thought the days of harming animals for films had passed us by.
Is the review positive or negative?
