which for me greatly reduced it in all of those areas.AI couldn't leave well enough alone, or trust his audience... the film was just so full of itself... so thick with it's sense of itself (virtually every frame dripped with self-importance) that it kept feeling contrived and manipulative which created a barrier... which is a shame because it could have been excellent and it wasted many fine performances.
I don't mind director's trying to hard or over-reaching if what they're trying to do is truly bring something special to life but in this case the trying to hard and over-reaching seemed to be in service of being seen as an important film... and that left a bad taste in my mouth.
