Brussels Sprouts & Pomegranate
Disappointing
I couldn't help but think of the movie The Wife as I watched this film. I think I preferred the scenario of that one over this, in terms of the wife's "rescuing" of her husband's career. It just pains me to see a woman satisfied with the lack of recognition. I think I've had my fill of egocentric "brilliant" artists who suck all the air out of the room. I'd like to see this story line fade into the past.
Bland, flat and uninspiring.
This was an interesting topic and good acting let down by a blandness and lack of style, it made me wonder how a French or Italian filmmaker would have tackled it, probably with some style and pace, rather than this torpid outing, which would just about be ok for a weekday matinee. It was also spoilt by the insistent and overloud soundtrack, which seemed designed to tell us, the audience, what we should feel at any point as the script was not going to do that.
