I Wanted Stronger more Subtle Dialogue

Rating: 3/10 (3 March 2017)

I wanted to love this. The earliest reviews alluded to certain subtleties of dialogue that would make me both laugh and twinge. Instead I found the film dull, lifeless. The fact that the main characters are political liberals tends to serve no real end. I was hoping that liberal values would pervade the film and slowly ever so slowly lead he main characters down a deadly path. But no. The strangeness of the characters is a dead giveaway early on and the willingness of the hero to subject himself to their whims seems altogether false. Without giving anything away there are two shocking moments in the film at which time the audience (a) gasps and (b) applauded. I must admit that I did join them.
