Title: Proof that good actors and good acting = bad movie
Review: What is this movie about, really? Is it like the Amazon reviewer says, "advanced academia, revelations of love, fear, regret, and potential recovery"? Maybe, but I don't think so. This film deliberately toys with its audience so we can't get a fix on whether Catherine is crazy or sane, skittish or companionable, a liar or a saint, brilliant or dull. At the end we find out, but we're given a lot of false scents until then. So maybe it works as a kind of academia thriller, but for me the thrill was gone.To me it seems the story is more about the challenges and ethical issues surrounding the care of ill parents. How much should children be expected to sacrifice to provide a "dignified" life for their parents? But this story falls far short of answering that question, too.
Is the review positive or negative?
