This movie is a waste of precious time…

Great actors were wasted making this movie.

Slow but mesmerizing. [Possibly a positive review?]

…I FINALLY got through it & I did enjoy looking at Nicole and her lovely gowns.

And, finally, the student who tried to use this film for homework help. (There's always one.)
