I have a hunge that the negative feeling has been emphasized by the rather long and elaborate text at the start. Either way, this movie as a whole jsut seems to be lacking all around. It's nice that the stage play did well and understandable that they would make a movie out of it, but the transition to movie screen is missing the actual transition. As said before, the text at the start doesn't help, because knowing the background it feels even more that you're jsut watching a stage play. The whole scenery shows only half the set and there isn't much movement. Furthermore, having everybody be addressed one by one doesn't help the flow of the movie much either. I don't know if we as viewers just found out the 'secret' too soon, but everything just feels very dragged out and lacks something exciting or something that would make you want to come back to this movie if you might stop watching somewhere in the middle.
