Review: terrific screenplay 
Sentiment: positive

Review: meandering , norton has to recite bland police procedural details , fiennes wanders around in an attempt to seem weird and distanced , hopkins looks like a drag queen 
Sentiment: negative

Review: deadly dull , pointless meditation on losers in a gone-to-seed hotel . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: sounds whiny and defensive , as if his life-altering experiences made him bitter and less mature . 
Sentiment: negative


Review: the thematic ironies are too obvious and the sexual politics too smug
