Negative Positive
Title: Leaves Viewers in a Dark Place
Review: I am a fan of most "Turn of the Screw," related works. I am normally a fan of Leelee Sobieski's movies. Not so this time.The movie was a sad, depressing jaunt through the horrors of men. There wasn't a single male figure that was a remotely positive individual throughout the run of the film, including the little boy she was supposed to be caring for. You can sum up all male roles in one word: abusive. The women were victimized, and the children fared little better. Unfortunately, the characters had precious little depth or plausibility.The movie was incredibly slow. It was dark, but senselessly so. There is also the sense that the main character is quite mad, completely unsuitable for work as a governess. The best thing about the film was the setting.
