Horrible, and yet I know it's a good film

Rating: 4/10 (15 April 2010)

I did not know what to expect at all from this film. What I got was a well made piece of work that was nicely filmed and nicely written. The acting was good, especially from Jude Law and Natalie Portman. But in the end what is it about? What's the point? That's a question I still find myself asking. All it is is a film about the worst parts of relationships and the depressing bits of four people's lives put together. Even when things are looking up they soon hit a new low. It just depressed me- immensely. If I've missed the point then I'm sorry, but I can't help it. I don't see the point in watching a film about four horrible people lying and cheating their way around the each other- people they supposedly love. It's well made and there are good performances, but I wouldn't'y watch it again if you paid me- it's just not worth it.
