bit boring..

Rating: 5/10 (9 February 2016)

I liked the idea of this, weird interesting. And i Liked the one other movie of Lanthimos i've seen; Dogtooth.
However this failed everywhere dogtooth succeeded, apart from the weird and interesting premise of the movie, there wasn't much else, a few dry jokes, which I normally love, were spread too thin across what should really have been a 5 minute short. There's just not enough here to keep going for so long.
This will get more hype because of the cast, and Farrell, as (almost) always, is spot on, as are many of the others in the hotel, however Rachel Weisz has the worst voice-over voice I've heard, and started to make me dislike this very early on.
Interesting premise, a few good scenes, and a not half bad ending, should give a higher score, but lack of everything else, and Weisz's continuous voice croakily explaining everything just made this disappointing.
If you do however like this, I'd recommend Dogtooth, similar dark dry vain, but better in every way.
