Disturbing Film
Excellent acting by everyone. Jodie deserves a nomination. I hadn't seen the play and had didn't read reviews, so I didn't recall the plot. It was a difficult film for me to sit through--not because of the fact it's essentially a filmed play--and the dialogue doesn't easily transfer to film, but the fact that, while obviously funny in scenes, I didn't laugh once. The underlying passive agressiveness and utimate hostility of Kate and Christophe's characters are so palpably disturbing I couldn't find humor, even in the funny parts. I left very disturbed by the film, but I will say, I've never been so shaken by a film. Not perfect, but worth seeing. Actually quite haunting.
