Despite the great performances, something is not working in this too much theatrical adpation of a play, the rythm is not greatly made and well we miss Hare for his amazing works with The Hours and The reader.. Hum. Bust still there,s some intense memorable moments, hopefuly.
The performances are alright, but I just found this BORING as all hell, basically an hour and 15 minutes of Uma Thurman and Paddy Considine looking uncomfortable and edgy.
Pass, unless you're a die-hard fan of the leads.

Pretty good movie. Nothing interesting ever happened, just a bunch of talking and some make-out scenes. Wasn't a waste thought, because it was only an hour and 15 minutes long.
No recent reviews.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "My Zinc Bed" !
