A complete mess... - DoubleDownAgain |
  |
| To be fair, I didn't finish watching the film after only making it halfway through. I very very rarely turn a film off but I couldn't take anymore. I'm also usually a big Parker Posey fan but she was awful in this, probably because of the horrible screenplay and the awful direction.

I'd give a recommendation to those who like period dramas, but I think many will find the pace to be too slow. |
