This is one of those films that must have looked very good in concept but fails in execution. It has a strong screenplay and good actors, but fails miserably in execution. I will admit to a bias against films that are self-consciously arty, which may have prejudiced my viewpoint, but if you can get through this one without rolling your eyes, sighing, or squirming in your seat, then you have a higher tolerance for directorial self-indulgence than I do.
