My review · Reviewed 02/25/2023
I was so excited to this movie. After all, it stars one of my favorite actors (Richard Jenkins) and it was a play turned into a movie. As the movie started I was all set to dive into a talkie drama. As it started it seemed promising enough. And then... there was nothing to dive into. The allusions to some kind of sinister goings-on were extremely odd and - even after you see that they are metaphorical - didn't work at all. The last scene summed up the movie. It.... just..... kept.... going.... until.... it..... feels.... like.... the.... movie..... just..... (snore).
