Truly awful, self-indulgent, and boring!
Like Meryl Streep, I can always see Tilda Swinton acting. I never get lost in the portrayal because I can see the method.
Tilda spends the entire movie with her mouth hanging open, in shock, looking utterly gormless.
Far far too many flashbacks, making it a disjointed mess.
The book was excellent: the movie doesn't do it justice.
I didn't get to the end because I just couldn't take another second of watching Tilda's shocked expression - whatever the scene, the same expression.
I also don't understand the need for the obligatory nude love scene - so boring and unnecessary.
