A constipated movie

Rating: 2/10 (2 January 2019)

It should have been an interesting movie in theory -- but this was terribly mishandled. I mean, how many times can you show people striding down a long dark hallway from one bedroom to another and expect the audience to be interested. So much repetition, so slow moving. The acting was good - oftentimes excellent - but the script was a mess, the direction was haphazard and it was historically a train wreck.
Dangerous Liaisons (1988) was a similar type of movie - and is a great example of how to do a drawing room comedy/drama. The Favourite is a good example of what not to do with this genre.
