Then again, when Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony premiered, it TOO got bad reviews.

Because of your review I decided to watch this movie again. I remember being so impressed by the acting —- the constant bickering, the free exchange of daggered insults, often the point of the dialogue would escape me. Your review helped me understand what was happening.

It’s true. Artistic license condensed years into moments. I wonder if the family.s sexual activities were conjured up. Essentially, you exposed the film for what it is—- a historical fiction: a playground backdrop for actors and juicy dialogue writers to display their talents.

If you take the film for what it is, it really isn’t too bad.

I do have to commend your prose and knowledge of film production technique. It’s obvious you are a child of the theater arts. Makes me wonder what kind of a director you could have been. Keep up the good reviews!
