Review

i understood what the last half of the film was doing and what its point was, but i felt that it was unncessary and antithetical to the morals set up earlier in the film. to write the shift off as “adaptation” for the sake of survival is the very definition of selling out and that irked me. i liked the first half of the film a lot and was sorely disappointed by the second half. despite that i recognize the film as a fine piece of work – the acting was very good, the screenplay was inventive and alive, and it certainly does incite discussion so for that i give it a .
