Too Long, Too Slow, Too Pointless • 6/10
25 March 2013 | by (Influx Magazine - dearboss@influxmagazine.com) – See all my reviews

Well filmed it was, well written it wasn't. This film had me asking questions non-stop, why would a mother do that? Why would she think this? It really just was one after another, giving the feeling that someone was trying to be far more clever than they were, leaving us with a film that bordered on boring and nonsensical. A shame really because I expected more from this decent cast and good director but everyone is entitled to their off days.

The bottom line is, good acting, solid direction, terrible writing, a dull story fleshed out 'till there was little left, but it did look good while boring us.

Not for everyone.

Score: 6/10
