Negative Positive
Title: Starts out bad and gets worse
Review: This movie starts out simpering, ridiculous and depressing and descends into maudlin, ridiculous and depressing. That is, it would be depressing IF YOU CARED ABOUT THE CHARACTERS. All three female leads navel gaze and contemplate suicide. You find yourself rooting for the characters to kill themselves so that they would save the rest of the world from the misery they inflict by their constant self-obsession.And it's an ugly, dark film. The lighting is blue or brown. The soundtrack is the same minor-chord piano riff over and over again. Juliana Moore's teeth look like they've been through 40 years of tea drinking and have never seen Ultra Brite. Nicole Kidman uses one facial expression -- a frown.I hated this movie and watched it to the end solely so I could write an informed review.
