i preface by state i be a big fan of jjl and not one of patrick . therefore i watch this to see her performance and of course and it be excellent . i do not feel the director be adequate for the film a several very bad choice be make re represent shot angle and block and etc . if the director be try to give it a realistic feel and they fail and lose some good performance because of it . nearly always felt that the camera be way too static and too far from intense facial reaction and so many time when the action depend on the intimacy of lead character and the dialog be slow and plod . this easily could have be resolve by cutaway or change of camera angle . but the impression i get be that the budget be too small and only one camera be use . i also get the impression that perhaps scene be shot multiple time and the energy come from the actor be . use up .
