This was awful!!!!

An extremely boring movie....filmed with a split screen the entire time and only featuring 2 people's conversation the entire time???!! Who thinks up these story lines?

Honestly - don't bother!

Know what you're in for

Ria Llewellyn from Swansea, Wales [Highly rated reviewer] , 27/11/2007

The basic advice I'll give to anyone thinking of renting this is - know what you're renting. If you're expecting a hugely dramatic storyline with twists and turns, you're not going to get it. This film is an exploration of two characters, and often you might find yourself asking 'what if?' throughout the film. Yes the splitscreen is a bit strange at first, but no it's not useless - it's used for a reason, and as another reviewer said, being able to see both of the character's facial expressions and reactions throughout the whole of the film really adds to the emotion. A nice exploration of two people's worlds connecting, and a nice easy film to watch. But not for those who like a big bang at the end!

Disappointing.

granita from Farnham [Highly rated reviewer] , 31/08/2007

This should have been my kind of thing. I like 'relationship' films. However, I found this rather tedious. Using dual screens is interesting from a technical point of view, and must have been quite difficult for the actors -and the director, who did the editing.

While Helena Bonham Carter - having such a strong screen presence and watchable face - is ideally suited to such a medium, she failed to convince me that she was in love with her co-star. And vice versa.

Split screens for an entire feature length film? I don't think it worked in this movie.

garbage

An infuriating film about 2 people whom you will quickly learn to despise,made all the more irritating by the pointless use of split screen technique throughout the film. An evening entirely wasted. Do yourself a favour,do the washing up.

ANNOYING!!!

A customer from London , 24/10/2007

Aaaaaarh!!!! This film is just SO annoying. The dual affect/split screen (apologies if not correct technical term) camera work as people describe is not arty or adds anything to the film, it is just totally and utterly annoying, pretentious and totally gets in the way of you focusing on what’s going on- as you are focusing on how deeply irritating this camera affect is! I was hoping it was only something at the beginning of the film but its all the way through, actually at least until half way through- as I fell asleep.

Helen BC is very irritating and both main characters are totally unsympathetic, its a mundane non story with boring characters with a desperate attempt to spice things up through this stupid camera work which destroys anything vaguely, minutely decent about this film. Please don’t waste your time, just look out of your window for two hours, you will see things going on far more interesting than in this film, and at least it wont be split in two!
