An opportunity missed..
6 March 2012 | by (Sydney Australia) – See all my reviews

Beautiful editing, beautiful photography, talented actors and yet still somehow this ends up being a boring film, about boring people, who do nothing but mooching and sulking.

The director is trying to attain that edgy Mike Leigh, Ken Loach feel, but fails miserably and the result is like watching an edited collection of drama school workshops.

Perhaps they should have spent some time coming up with an actual story line? they have a beginning, but nothing happens in the middle, and you only know that it's over because the credits roll.

Sundance you have lost your way this time!
