A decent enough movie...conceptually. And that's about it.
I really don't think the casting is right. Lea Seydoux just doesn't do it for me. She's either too deadpan or too weepy and it's not the character...it's just how she plays it. The rest of the cast is also, neither here nor there, except for Theo James who really is quite good.
The first half works great; the second half was all over the place. The cinematography is inconsistent, erratic and fuzzy, which doesn't help the texture of the narrative. The editing is also not helpful and the music is utterly unbearable.
