though howard demonstrates a great eye as a director , this southern gothic drama is sadly a tough sit , with an undeveloped narrative and enough flashbacks and heavy-handed metaphors to choke a horse -- or at least slow him down to a canter .
aunque Howard demuestra un gran ojo como director, este drama gótico del sur es tristemente un asiento duro, con una narrativa sin desarrollar y suficientes flashbacks y metáforas pesadas para ahogar a un caballo -- o al menos retrasarlo hasta un canter.
