Adaptation of a provocative morality tale that boasts a high-powered cast but loses sight of its premise.
What promised so much, delivers so little thanks to a script that too often veers from the point. A missed opportunity.
The resolution feels more confused than ambiguous.
The performances are all good but the film is a frustrating misfire.
You can see the points Moverman is trying to make, but it’s just a pity that the dialogue isn’t sharper and that the protagonists are so thoroughly unsympathetic.
