This movie is a failed movie. It promises a lot and finally falls short. A real shame, because the fact of being behind John Michael McDonagh heralded a better result.
Emotions in frivolous environments with respect for traditional ritual; moral relativism with the strict fixation of customs.
In one, the superficiality, nothing really has interest, contrived actions and motives to configure the inner emptiness of its characters.
In another, empathy is forced around forgiveness, guilt, remorse, justice, compassion.
The best thing about the film is the performance of Ralph Fiennes and some scathing dialogue in the first part of the film.
