Pam H. gave it an8:
Maybe it didn't move as fast as the typical Hollywood picture, maybe it wasn't as titillating as some people might have hoped, but I felt like it was a thought-provoking, very atmospheric film that succeeded in its aims (of replicating a Victorian-era medical text). I thought the last section -- with Veronika Duerr and Lisa Paulsen -- was very compelling. Am curious to see if it holds up under a second viewing.
Dominick S. gave it a2:
Flat film. Flat acting. It never came to life and was for the most part TOTALLY miscast. It looked like Bret & company couldn't get professional actors, which was a shame. The obvious exceptions were Patricia French and Daniel Petrow who were actually good enough to make everyone else look even worse. The material deserved better treatment in my humble opionion. I really was looking forward to this film but the premise never made it off the bed...so to speak.
Jose M. gave it a2:
Not a very good time for a film with an exciting premise! Jane Bass was good. Bret Wood who did a good job with Highway to Hell looked like he fell down when it came to casting, for the most part. I liked the look, you couldn't always tell it was filmed in Atlanta, but I agree with the critics who say the performances were "wooden", the acting "amatuar" acting.
Katlin P. gave it a2:
I thougt less boring try at Art and more a try at the heart of the material, maybe even less material, would have been good. Go see it if you have the time to sit back and look closely.
Mel J. gave it a4:
A film with a name like this should deliver more for the time spent watching it! That said, there were some good performances ( Patricia French) and some gawd awful performances ( Sandra L. Hughes) . There werer some good, reflective moments like puppetry and dance and some bad momentswith uneven lighting and sound. I may not be a film professional but I know this could have been beter that it is. Be well and try again another day in my opinion.
