Negative Positive
Title: score 2; film 0
Review: From the haunting opening notes of "Je crois entendre encore", through the first scenes with the darling little Russian girl I thought I would like this film. But as it went along, not only did the characters become less believable, they just devolved into broad, insulting stereotypes. The film did pretty well equally insult every race, religion and ethnic group they came across, so it didn't single anyone out. They all seemed like ethnic cartoons! The score, however almost saves it. Well, no, it doesn't. There are plenty of great recordings of 'Les Pecheurs de perles' and "La Favorita" out there. No need to subject yourself to this.
Is the review positive or negative?
