The film is a vain effort in search of depth, and instead it is a long string of failed attempts at transgression.
It is very difficult to empathize with the flat characters and the obvious resolution. The hackneyed flourishes, and the attempts to surprise us narratively, fail to maintain the difficult balance. The film ends with a sequence that borders on the ridiculous.
Only suitable for modern people anxious to seek meaning where isn't.
Nearly two hours feel excessive, specially when you are waiting for the end of the movie since the first half hour.
Didn't read the book, but it has to be better, beacuse worse is nearly impossible.
The best thing of the movie are the two main actors, who have done a pretty good job.
