♥♥♥♥♥ |
bad sound...over the top acting...but strangly interesting
|
I am giving my three stars to this film for one sequence which lasted about 5 minutes max....it was a flashback sequence of Jude Law when he was a teenager courting his best friend's sister, played by Kate Winslet.
The scene was superbly written and acted. It captured the innocence of teenage boys and girls attempting to engage in sex for the first time...but affraid to actually go through with it.
Other than that well written sequence, the rest of the film bothered us tremendously because of the poor sound quality particularly when Sean Penn was speaking with his over the top southern accent. He sounded like he had mush in his mouth and in a film of this level of dialog and dramatic events, it was troublsome to say the least.
Regarless...the film had some compelling parts to it and it kept us interested in the final outcome.
I'd recommend it for the beautifully shot sequences between Jude and Kate...sometimes raw sex is not necessary to make an elegant commentary about love and sex. Even Capt. Freaky realizes that folks! |
