CGiii Comment

Oh dear...the writer punctuates his script with some dire writing.

The director interrupts her film with some cacophonous songs...and, a setting that is completely incomprehensible...implausible...and, downright stupid!

A multi-million pound mansion in the middle of a rough council estate situated near to an idyllic lake...as if?!?

There is no subtlety whatsoever...rich/prim girl falls for poor/rough girl from the other side of the road...don't expect fireworks, there aren't any!

This particular tale of sapphism becomes more of a man-hating extravaganza...all the male characters are utterly vile...give it a rest!

A first feature from both director and writer...improvement is almost unavoidable!
