Sonata Details

Utterly Dreadful

One of the worst films I have ever seen.

Painfully dull and slow with very little happening to keep you interested. I watched most of it on 'search' on the DVD as most of the scenes are similar.

I could have missed some important dialogue during this time, however I doubt it.

Almost as bad as 'Nutbag', which is truly the waste of an hour or two.

Love it or hate it!!!

I can completely understand why most of these reviews say that they hated the film and found it completely pointless, however, like the other 1 person, I actually like this film.

Not just because of the story, but if you're willing to look a bit deeper into this film, there is a bit of good acting, and a message for over protective parent(s). I think the good acting comes especially from the actress playing the mother, who portrays the twisted, over protective, self absorbed parent almost too well. This comes apparent when she is reading the love letters (back) to her daughter with disgust. There were 2 scenes which I kept rewinding because I just couldn't stop laughing. 1, watch out for 'put the doll on the mantle' scene, the 3rd time that sentence is said, if you have silly humour you will laugh. 2. When mother is coming up the stairs after a night out and sees daughter on the landing, again, I laughed.

Not a great film by any standards, but just 1 of those films I know I just can't get rid of because I will miss it!!!!
