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).
