Pretentious Rubbish: or how to try to fool some of the people all the time......

BBC Entertainment cable channel lauded the presentation of this show recently so with some anticipation I viewed it. What a big mistake and what a waste of time. To borrow from just a few of the other reviewers here "pointless self indulgent" drivel. The story is all over the place and the writer appears to be making it up as he goes along. Apart from the daughter the two main characters come across as selfish uninteresting individuals who look and portray themselves as old: very old which in fact they are not.

The story in brief:

A father is obsessed with what he believes to be his "love" for his daughter, and meets a woman who has lost a child in a road accident and can't get over it. The father and the woman have an exceedingly boring love affair. Thats' it.

Add all sorts of unnecessary pretentious and phony sub plots. Beyond belief that this film won some awards. Proves can fool some of the people all of the time.

Lucky to get:

2/10.
