90The very considerable impact of the picture is mainly the work of two men, the author and the star.
-
60The only complaint is that the plot ultimately tries to take over the character drama with twists, turns and some rather pointed preachiness. But at least it's fiercely smart about it. And Algrant's final shot is gorgeous.
-
