CGiii Comment

Where to start on this one - it is dark - even in daylight.

The camera moves constantly - lovely jerky movements throughout.

The directors' only technique is to shove the camera into the actors' faces to unsatisfying effect.

Seemingly based on an award winning play - this won't be bringing any awards home - correction it did...2.

Well, stranger things have happened - doesn't say much about the award-givers.

Soapish melodrama directed with no skill - the actors seem to be enthusiastic - shame the director didn't respond.
