COMMUNITY REVIEWS

2.5 hours of poorly directed and scipted pretentious movie, based on a good novel. I could not stand it. submitted by Tassos on January 15, 2022, 3:20pm Good and even Great Actors are abused by the pathetic director and scriptwriter, and as if this was not enough, they made the god damned movie interminable, 150 boring minutes filled with cliches and poor script. I rented the dvd and started watching it yesterday, soon I could not stand it and changed to TV watching interviews and an old carson show. Next day (today) I tried to continue this worthless turkey twice, with similar results Finally I gave up on it and returned the DVD. NOT a classic. Based on a good book by Catherine Ann Porter, BUT as most books made into movies, blew it.
