Why is it whenever a potentially good film is spoiled by plodding direction, critics try to rescue it by calling it an art house film? I also think there is a tendency for many actors to mumble a bit in an attempt to show they are better actors than they are. I like Mr Phoenix a lot and I also think he is a very good actor capable of great subtlety but in this very slow and confusingly written film I fear he adds to the problems.
For the rest of the cast there is no real opportunity to show their talent and the film just comes to a very strange incomplete end.
