Sad, sad, sad with no happy ending!

Rating: 3/10 (21 June 2005)

Please don't watch this unless you're some dour type who likes sad endings, so-called arty attempts at impact by so-called moving scenes and subtle -- but too subtle -- plots.
I hope I missed something in Jane calling herself Alice, I hope I did. I don't think I did. I wanted there to be a happy ending, I wanted things to explain why previous events had bothered to occur. Most soaps (and they really are low-brow) have plots that sometimes result in events turning out as they were before, but I like my films to go somewhere; to surprise me and maybe to give me something to think about. They should always have a clear raison d'etre, however, and this film don't have one (SiC)! If you want to watch a film and you want to watch something serious, that is your choice, but don't want a film that makes you want to rant as I have done in this comment. Normally, I write carefully and consider my words and the order they are delivered. This film has annoyed me and I want you to be saved from having to suffer it.
I am sure, however, that there are people (in fact I know by its rating) that like this sort of film. I just ask you to try and enjoy life. Embrace amusing, light-hearted and rewarding films. For goodness sake, watch Around The World in 80 Days with Jackie Chan and look on the bright-side!
