one of the few movies I've ever almost walked out of
28 May 2001
Perhaps I just wasn't in the mood that day. But the thing is, I usually love Merchant Ivory productions and period pieces (well, that period anyway). And I love Uma and Kate.

So how did they manage to make such an excrutiatingly boring film? As the credits rolled, I heard an elderly woman behind me say to her friend, "I think that was the longest movie I've ever seen." And it's only 2 hours and 20 minutes. Pearl Harbor is almost 3 for Peet's sake.

The only reason I stayed til the end was out of a sense of respect for the art of filmmaking. Every film deserves a chance, even Blood Sucking Freaks.
