A poorly directed historical error.

Rating: Null/10 (4 November 2007)

Admittedly, I went into this expecting perhaps not a better film than it's predecessor, but with the fine cast attached to it, and Cate reprising one of her best roles, I had hoped at the very least to see a film that could sustain my attention-- which it failed to do miserably.
This so-called historical drama felt more like a bad, third-rate Early-90's USA made-for-television movie.
A textbook example of a great cast squandered and wasted in a clunky, badly-directed historically hysterical stink bomb.
Frankly by the time the director eschewed any reasonable (or logical) storytelling devices and started randomly hoisting the camera in the farthest reaches of the rafters for no discernible reason, I found myself observing the theater interior I was sitting in and the lighting design details in particular. The bathrooms were notable as well with fully stocked paper towels as I quite dislike those hand dryer machine things...
This film should only be seen by serious fans of either Owen and/or Blanchette. All other humans should avoid.
