I saw this at Sydney Film Festival. One of the worst movies I've ever seen (and I see a lot!). I felt sorry for the actors - the script was AWFUL. The direction, woeful. Holes all over the plot. The Director was calling this a feminist movie - can't see that at all. Joseph Fiennes had an Australian accent for the first scene and then reverted to his normal English accent - lazy direction! Sex scenes that the audience laughed out loud at. Awful. Director said it took 13 years to make this movie. Sad. One of the finest Australian actors, Hugo Weaving, wasn't even good in it. None of the main actors turned up for the Australian premiere - no surprise there. I stayed for the Q&A after the film to get some answers. The Director continued to talk it up without really answering the questions. I'll never get those 2 hours of my life back!
