The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This seemed like the type of film I would typically enjoy, however there is nothing enjoyable about this film whatsoever.The first half is so slow-paced and drawn out that I almost completely lost interest before the actual point of the dinner was revealed. Once I got to that point, the premise of the film was *just* interesting enough to force myself to suffer through the meandering second half to find out what happens in the end... except there is no actual ending. It just stops, as if they suddenly ran out of film while shooting the final scene.Besides that, the sound editing made me want to punch my TV screen in the face. How, you ask? By starting with practically inaudible dialogue muttered under the breath, and cutting suddenly to blaringly loud transition music, and repeating that about 46 trillion times until I wore out the volume buttons on my remote.This might be the most excruciating film I've ever sat through.

Para empezar, no sabes lo que te quiere contar la película hasta que lleva mucho tiempo transcurrido. Resulta que la idea es muy buena. Pero empieza a irse el guion por tantos sitios que no sirven para nada, que te aburres y nunca llega a la idea principal. Para luego no saber cerrarla.Es muy larga, no sé en qué pensaba el director. Los actores, todos están insoportables. No consigo empatizar con ninguno. Seguro que Richard eligió su personaje, él tiene una fundación para los sin techo.La fotografía está bastante bien. Es bonita, pero debería ser más fría en algunos momentos.El director es muy malo. Si hace una película así, es que es muy malo. Si no se da cuenta de que se ha perdido mucho. Los planos son simples y en algunos momentos hasta malos. No pierdas el tiempo To begin with, you do not know what the movie wants to tell you until it has been a long time. It turns out that the idea is very good. But the script begins to go by so many sites that are useless, that you get bored and never comes to the main idea. Then do not know how to close it.It's very long, I do not know what the director thought. The actors, they are all unbearable. I can not empathize with anyone. Surely Richard chose his character, he has a foundation for the homeless.The photography is pretty good. It's pretty, but it should be colder at times.The director is very bad. If he makes a movie like that, it's very bad. If you do not realize that you have lost a lot. The plans are simple and sometimes even bad.Do not waste your time

I found the characters so annoying. I felt no empathy for any of them. The dialogue sucked and the storyline is all over the place. Hearing Steve Coogan with an American accent is just weird too lol. Overall, I found this film very dull and very whiny.

This movie was not well crafted. It had too many plots that did not correlate. I initially thought it was about Paul's mental illness, but the plot veered into a million different directions. Although the mothers seem to be fighting to protect their sons, they come off as callous and show no thought of how their sons murdered a homeless woman with no remorse (until they believed they would have repercussions). Finally, the ending is so abrupt and left me confused about what the entire purpose of the movie was because nothing was resolved.
