Unsatisfied with this acclaimed drama
13 March 2006
Strange, unsatisfying drama with a tinge of quirky comedy. I don't know, it didn't do too much for me. At first, I was infuriated. It felt forced and the dialogue felt so utterly written. It almost felt like the actors were reading the book out loud. I half expected Kathleen Turner to end some of her sentences with "she said". It does have an interesting message, one that everyone needs to take to heart, that it's very easy to get addicted to routines and never change your life, even when it might be much better to change it. I started to warm to it after a while, but I never crossed the line into liking it. There was one aspect about it that I really liked, though: the musical score by John Williams. Very subtle, not overused. Everything we generally wouldn't expect from John Williams.
