i have be look forward to see this film for about a month after i saw an interview with ben kingsley talk about it . i be very disappointed . i find it slow and pretentious and really flat . i think the two main character be vain and shallow and unlikeable . penelope cruz performance be far good than ben kingsley but be nowhere near her usual standard and such a volver . she have much great ability than be display here . the background music be labour and intrusive . all in all i find it horridly contrive and i have to keep look at my watch to see how much long i have to suffer it before it end .
