Review: While it employs a color scheme I have grown tired of, black, white, and red, it has a nice balance and structure, the red central image striking out against the more black-and-white background. There’s not a lot of excess imagery, which helps the house image in the lower third stand out effectively.

Trailer Rating: C

Review: If you read the summary from IMDb, you get the idea of what kind of film it is, but then watching the trailer gives you the impression of a completely different film. That failure to effectively define itself is exacerbated by a trailer that doesn’t seem to know how to engage the viewer.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
