Misery loves company

Rating: 1/10 (19 April 2016)

I really looked forward to this having seen the trailer. But Hollywood is the master of making great trailers. I was expecting 'something different' as multiple reviews promised but only received disappointment. The movies is one unrelenting exploration of misery. There is no horror, no creepiness, unless you consider a rabbit scary. It is one long slow decent into wretchedness which would be fine if it billed itself as a drama but if you're expecting any kind of thrills or scares or even suspense or tension then look elsewhere. It's a tale of hardship and suffering and left me feeling gloomy with no redeeming counterbalance.
