Title: Painful to sit through
Review: I'm not about to cower in awe of what so-called "critics think. As quite an eclectic connosieur of film I found this one lacking in most everything except cinematography. But even that doesn't save this film which literally put me to sleep. My only motivation for staying awake was the gnawing belief that surely at some point a plot would finally emerge to justify enduring the lack thereof heretofore. But it finally dawned on me as the credits rolled that I had been had. What I don't understand is why the critics or Alton think that sitting through hours of watching people, one would barely tolerate in real life, chat about nothing for 2 hours constitutes an important film or even entertainment for that matter. And I happen to like good English film. But if I am to give up 2 hours of my life, I just think there should be a point.
Is the review positive or negative?
