I have seen many movies, and I think this is one of the worst. I have never walked out of a movie, and I walked out of this one last night. I wanted to like it because of the wonderful actors in it and I generally appreciate British film. I kept wanting it to get better, and it never did. The story could be interesting, if there was more of it. There is a lack of much dialogue at all, so I didn't really understand the main characters. The flashback sequences were quite confusing and misleading. I left after the custard/rape scene because I just couldn't handle any more. If you like soft-core porn, then this movie is for you. Out of the hour and fifteen minutes I saw, about 45 minutes of that was sex. I exagerrate SLIGHTLY. I will admit, there were a few shots that struck me as being beautifully shot. I think the cinematography is the best part of the film. It isn't good enough to save it, though.
