Take a pillow

Painfully slow, more like a very dull play than a film. Such a beautiful couple, cinematography and sets but oh dear did I miss something? Apparently not my friend who stayed awake said nothing happened. I fell asleep thankfully.

This film is so self concious, so right-on, so painfully and knowingly slow it makes me wonder how it ever enjoyed Lottery funding. Awful casting , with the exception of Simon Beale, and the most dreary, uninteresting self pitying drivel of a non script.
I paid for the Club seats and after 45 minutes my partner gave me 'the look' that said she'd had enough. I have to say the £32 wasn't wasted, thankfully. The adverts were terrific!!!

Very slow - characters did not draw my empathy
