Ġ hardly a nuanced portrait of a young woman's breakdown, the film nevertheless works up a few scares. better effects, better acting and a hilarious kenneth branagh. ġ proof once again that if the filmmakers just follow the books, they can't go wrong. ġ the film's intimate camera work and searing performances pull us deep into the girls' confusion and pain as they struggle tragically to comprehend the chasm of knowledge that's opened between them. ġ angela gheorghiu as famous prima donna floria tosca, roberto alagna as her lover mario cavaradossi, and ruggero as the villainous, lecherous police chief scarpia, all sing beautifully and act adequately.
Ġ a few zingers aside, the writing is indifferent, and jordan brady's direction is prosaic. Ġ fans of so-bad-they're-good cinema may find some fun in this jumbled mess. ġ occasionally funny, always very colorful and enjoyably overblown in the traditional almod�var style. ġ una pel�cula oscura, precisa, por momentos grandiosa y casi siempre conmovedora. an airless, prepackaged julia roberts wannabe that stinks so badly of hard-sell image-mongering you'll wonder if lopez's publicist should share screenwriting credit.
Ġ i never thought i'd say this, but i'd much rather watch teens poking their genitals into fruit pies !Ġ.
Ġ the verdict : two bodies and hardly a laugh between them. Ġ all of the elements are in place for a great film noir, but director george hickenlooper's approach to the material is too upbeat. 1 an entertaining, colorful, action-filled crime story with an intimate heart.
