My mother and I recently rented this movie for some after church relaxation on a Sunday afternoon. Though we differed on our impressions of the plot, I thought its short comings were made up for by vigorous and believable performances while she felt everything was too muddled and sticky, we both agreed that the sets were delightful and the costumes impeccable. The actors go above and beyond, sometimes below and often deep inside, to deliver a hardcore performance worthy of Shakespeare or Bob Guccione.
