  Just Painful
  
  One of the worst films I've ever seen. It was painful, long and slow. The dialogue was stilted and repetitive.

  Merits are entirely visual
  
  beautifully shot, shocking use of the original text. But how many good looking men overshadow the flaws? Too many to complain. Merits are entirely visual.

  100% Truly Awful
  
  I read the reviews on this film and I thought it can't be that bad but believe me the reviews are 100% correct. This film is 100% truly awful.
