Self-conscious

earthdan58

As I watched this film I felt increasingly aware of the people behind the camera.  Maybe that was because those in front of the camera were pretty unsympathetic characters - though well portrayed by the excellent cast. Or maybe it was because the production was so self-conscious.  It has no identity of it's own and just seems to draw on an established 'independent' film standard production style...which we've seen done to death  - or maybe it was supposed to be ironic...if so, then that's all it was.  I was left unmoved.

score 5/10
