  Pointess waste of time
  
  Nicole Kidman really seems to be trying to eke out some sort of career playing quirky repressed women. While she was wonderful in Rabbit Hole where you ... read more »

  Plotless, Pointless
  
  One of the most boring and pointless film that I have suffered to watch. Nicole Kidman manages to be even more annoying than usual. Plotless, and mind numbing.

  Spot the Plot...
  
  A short review: Most of the characters are interesting, flawed, human and well acted, but the filmmakers neglected to give them a plot. Thus, we don't care ... read more »

  A Good way to waste 1 1/2 hours of your life
  
  Really don't bother. It would be less painful to gouge both your eyes out with a blunt spoon.

  Not good..........
  
  I expected better, but it didn't happen, in fact I started fast forwarding, and half way through gave up on it , to be honest it was putting me to sleep.
