Audience Member Disappointing. Could have been a great movie, but poorly executed. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Contrary to the critics, the story is very engaging. A human drama dealing with obsession and choices. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Though beautifully shout, the result is a rather run of the mill costume drama. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Well-acted, depressing film about incestuous relationships, mental illness, and messed-up family life. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent, but with imbalance narrative.
