this would have be a great silent film . the act really be good and at least in a look ma and i be do really big acting . sort of way . everything be huge . every line be profound . every scene be shatter by human tragedy . mostly and i felt like gag . yet and like any train wreck and i couldn not tear my eye away . this dialogue might have work on the stage and although i doubt it . on the screen and it be clutter and haphazard and hackneyed and pretty much every other stereotypical negative adjective you can come up with to describe a really bad dramatic work . if you enjoy your melodrama in huge and heap dos and you might enjoy the movie . be prepare to wait and however . for all that melodrama and this thing sure plod along at it own pace . this script must have sound a lot different when the actor involve be read it to themselves . it simply doesn not work once they get around to deliver it in front of the camera . imdb do u a great disservice and at time and when it use it goofy computer control weighted score . curse of the starve class deserve less than a 1. character drive fiction be great and but when you develop your character by simply push them through hoop with no plausible explanation for their maturation or evolution and it isn not character development . your character must have a motivation . be drunk for a while and wake up in a field be not character development . that a plot contrivance . stay away from this movie . or at the very least and watch it mute . perhaps you will get some amusement from all the arm wave the character do . oh and and word to the wise to prove that this be truly an artsy film and you see james wood in all his dangly male look at me and i be the figurative and literal representation of the naked vulnerability of man glory . don not say you weren not warn .
