this movie be long and boring . surprising that it be select for cannes and although they tend to like pretentiousness . point be that contrary to other dutch star of the arty genre like kerkhof and kruishoop and guernsey feel utterly empty . even more so it have no cinematic quality whatsoever . a long opening shot doesn not mean cinematic depth and it just a long boring shot . the story wasn not interesting and the character have problem i couldn not identify with at all . the actor do not shine under her direction and seem lose at time . leopold tried and but she be not the talent i hop she would be . where be kerkhof and kruishoop . they really make some wave in dutch cinema . leopold just make another attempt .
