On one hand I can see how this got greenlit - classy writer, interesting book, promising director. Julie Christie signed on.
But it's so dull. England in economic collapse but everything is messy and shabby rather than dramatic. Christie watches things. A young girl roots a guy. There's visions of a Victorian era house.
The movie went on and on. At first I was forgiving but then I became annoyed because it's so doggedly un commercial.
This should've been done for TV if that. I felt like I was in a festival audience watching it. Trying to stay awake.
