    Attractive but not entertaining.
    I liked the stillness of the cinematography and the vistas of Lisbon. I also liked the way that some beautiful live music was worked into the plot. However, I did not find the storylines engaging. They were ponderous and implausible. It also seemed that at least one of the actors found the awkward acting style altogether too awkward and so it became clumsy rather than stylised.
