User Reviews

A predictable but watchable filmed play!

This was basically a stage play that appeared to be filmed. It made one feel as though they were sitting in a theater, watching a live performance rather than looking at a film. The story is very predictable, the acting, very theatrical. Just seemed a lazy way to tell the story i.e filming a play!
