Most helpful review The Kreutzer Sonata

  • not as good as Ivans XTC

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I loved Ivans XTC but I didn't think this was as good. It was quite a predictable infidelity/jealousy drama. Whereas Ivans XTC seemed to be very poignant and subtle, this was a bit heavy-handed and obvious. There were points in the film where it could have become more original (such as where the husband visits his sister), but these opportunities were not taken.

  • Interesting yet dragged on

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By Storymaker (15 reviews) , 15 Dec 2012
    Certainly an interesting way of telling a story. I wasn't too sure on the 'documentary' style to begin with, but soon got into it. I feel it dragged out a little, could have been told at a much better pace, but i did enjoy putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

    I watched this because I loved Ivan's XTC also, but it was like enduring a huge, unfunny, porny episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

    The Beethoven and house are pleasant enough, though.

  • Porn with a classical touch!

    I wasn't sure what to expect with this film, but was attracted by the music and Tolstoy themes. I stuck it for 15-20 minutes but couldn't stand it any more. Just an excuse for sex with music as far as I could see.

    A powerful film that stays with you long after viewing. The characters are not actors - they are the people themselves. Brilliant
