Elena Undone (2010)
6/10
Reader's Digest version of a review
11 February 2011
Since so many people review stuff online here and just keep going and going and going, I'm gonna keep it short and sweet, like you're talking to a friend, so I won't bore you to death.

It was OK, a bit Lifetime-ish, and the acting was okay too.

A decent first effort from the whole cast and crew, but would I see it again? Probably not.

A few twists and turns (no spoilers here) that kept it almost completely off the Hollywood path for a while (and a not too standard ending), but you'll still see it coming a mile away anyway.

As usual, to sell the film, they are using Hollywood-stylized pretty actresses to portray ordinary lesbian women - grant you, we're not all Brad Pitts or A. Jolies, but it gets old to watch pretty people have pretty R-rated sex on screen while the music swells, etc etc etc.

That's what Cinemax is for...

So that's my review.

6/10 - at best.

If you want long-winded explanations of everything else and needlessly included spoilers, go to the other 5 or 6 reviews that are here.

Thanks for reading.
