User Review

A Wonderful Mess

Rating: 7/10


Atom Egoyan is one of my most trusted directors. He never disappoints
me even when I'm not totally taken by the film. This is a perfect
example of that. I loved it and hated it, all at the same time.
Everything works and nothing works. Bacon and Firth couldn't be better
as the Martin and Lewis, boy and girl act and yet…I didn't quite
believe it. Good as they are they're not heavyweights and in my modest
opinion the parts required heavyweights. I was sucked in though and
enthralled by some extraordinary Egoyanesque moments with David
Lynchish touches here and there. I believe the film was a flop at the
box office, naturally. Too much of an adult story that demands not only
full attention but participation from its audience. I will certainly
see it again.
