  Stick with it - it's worth it.
  
  I'm so glad I did watch it right through as it developed into something of a masterpiece. How anyone can say the acting was poor is beyond me. On the ... read more »

  Alright
  
  A film that has too many stories all in one. It is hard to get hold of one overall story. The story between Penelope Cruz and Rhys Ifans had to be the one I ... read more »

  Underwhelmed
  
  A bit of a dog's dinner, with too many story lines clumsily woven together. An English film trying to be a little French in mood: it ends up drowning in mid... read more »

  ME NEITHER!
  
  A curiously engaging tale, superbly acted by a vast array of British talent and an equally excellent Cruz.

  Chromophobia phobia
  
  I am a fan of Ben Chaplin but not even his presence was enough to stop this being a truly terrible film. Boring. Over-long. Rent any film but this.
