Patrick Feeney

I found myself wanting Malcolm and Marie to go to sleep. The dialogue made me think that this might be the dynamic if two mean, self absorbed psychoanalysts made the mistake of becoming lovers. The dialogue was academic, over wrought and unnatural. The structure and composition was interesting for the first twenty minutes and repetitive and tiresome for the balance of the film. Its hard to imagine what either character sees in the other except that maybe these two are the only two people on earth who might tolerate a relationship with either of them. The dynamic between them goes from interestingly tense to absurdly unbelievable.
