We don't see often scripts like this one on our screens. Even if I don't agree with its message, I loved the basic idea and the way it was written. BUT...
*Spoilers* ...this movie has failed. This is a perfect example of how long is the distance between a good script and a good movie. The war between emotions and logic seems to be eternal and we'll probably never stop writing or making movies about it. In this movie, the messages are strong and disturbing, specially the relationship of Sam's mother with her daughter in law. No culture can accept this thing as natural, and even if it had only a semantic function in the writer's mind, it should be presented in a very artistic way in order to make the whole thing work. Something that does not happen here. The movie is filmed like an ordinary family picture, with nothing innovative, and it's definitely poor in art. In order to make this picture work, I believe that they should either erase this sick relationship and keep their crew as it is, or keep the original script and call Polanski to film it or something. In brief, I believe that this is a lost opportunity. It could have been a great movie, but it has turned out to be just sick soft-core. Sorry, 3/10.
