I simply don't agree with its tone either.
It is very talky. And that dialogue is quite thin. Nothing peppy, literary, metaphorically interesting. A lot of wasted words that reveal every little.
There are five characters in the whole thing. And only the two bellboys held my sympathy. The main cast is somewhat annoying, and 66% of them have clothing allergies apparently.
And the part where it tries to veer into Albee 'fun-and-games' territory with Harry and the bucket....that was deplorable, if not criminal, for its stereotypical portrayal of predatory behavior of repressed men. Why should Jason's tears mean anything to the viewer after that?
Not a fan.
