This was an interesting film which I enjoyed, and which I felt was of high quality, but I came away from it thinking ‘and so…?’

It was well acted throughout (good in particular to see Julia Roberts against type) but I think ultimately for a film to be satisfying for me a) it must have at least one sympathetic character to identify with – these were all more or less sociopathic, and b) there must be some sense of character development and either redemption or judgement, ie the story must cohere in the end with an archetypal shape – even if it plays with that shape, there must be reference to it. Neither of these conditions were met.

Misanthropic, but worth watching.
