If Leonard Cohen made a movie - this would be it.

Rating: 1/10 (25 January 2005)

I found this to be one of the gloomiest, darkest, most depressing movies I have ever seen in a theatre.
Reasons why I hated this film:
1.The basic plot stems from the "all men are bastards" school of gender debate. 2.Holly Hunter's vastly over-rated performance. Since when did scowling and glaring constitute award winning acting technique? On the other hand, her accent was much better than Harvey's :-) basic advice for actors, if you can't do accents, don't, not everyone has Streep's ear and facility. 3. Dark, oppressive lighting and setting.
4. Nyman's score - if possible, even more over-rated than Hunter's performance.
Reasons why I like the film: 1.There were some beautifully filmed underwater shots.
2. It did, finally come to an end.
Overall reaction: If you want to make time stand still, this is the film for you, Einstien was right!!!
