Poster: D+ / D / D

Review: (#1) Visually, this is the film’s most daring design. Unfortunately, it’s about as daring as sticking your gum to the underside of a park bench. (#2) Remember the Death Camps! That seems to be partly what this design is saying, which makes it horrendously out of place. (#3) There isn’t much going on here, but we retain focus on our protagonist and that’s all that matters! Right? No.

Trailer: B

Review: Can you find the problem with this film? Probably not. There seems to be some kind of twist brewing, but the narrative doesn’t want to focus on that. It gives the film something of a mysterious quality, but ultimately it lacks that defining moment that demands it be seen.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
