CGiii Comment

Definitely original.

Technically competent.

Distinctly unpalatable...bordering on the downright tasteless.

As an examination into the cruelty of love...then, this is as cruel as it gets.

There are some glaring errors - too many - and a few scenes that don't make any sense.

But, the real disappointment is the bizarre way it ends...

A mis-managed, ill-conceived film that could have been something really special.
