david hamilton be so impressed with himself a a photographer and that he have convince himself he can make a good film . well and he wrong . for example and i have a theory that he saw a good use of a fade out in a movie once and think that if one fade out be good and then 75 of them must be great . again and he wrong . there be one sequence where sarah ( maud adam ) be speak to her daughter laura ( dawn dunlap ) who be lie in bed . the camera show sarah talk and then slowly fade out to black only to shift to laura in bed a she respond directly to her mother and continue the conversation . maybe hamilton felt this would make the dialogue have more resonance . again and he wrong . i have notice that hamilton be wrong a lot in this film . the movie fail on so many level that i can not begin to list them all here . all i can say be that you should avoid this movie at all cost . i give it a negative .
