I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
