Great movie........I think not!

Rating: 1/10 (21 July 2010)

Sorry but I don't understand what the heck people are thinking of, this is a real dire movie, slow paced and bereft of anything worthwhile. I have been in love with foreign movies for over 35 years and I eagerly waited this release having read positive reviews of it left, right & centre but I can't for the life of me see why this film is being lauded in some quarters as a behemoth of a movie, this is really beyond me. It wasn't as if the camera work was striking because it wasn't & it wasn't because the acting was breathtaking because it was turgid, the main actress was totally wooden, hopeless and unconvincing. In fact the script was hardly original so in essence it was a much over-hyped movie if ever there was one, a real let down.
