I was surprised (and a little disappointed) that Sofia did nothing new with the story - it's based on the 1971 screenplay by Albert Maltz and Irene Kamp and the source novel by Thomas Cullinan. Well, she did have one major point of departure - she had it filmed so dark (by Phillippe le Sourd) that it's no wonder Colin Farrell accidentally wanders into the wrong bedroom...
Good cast comprises Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning, Oona Laurence, Angourie Rice, Addison Rieke and Emma Howard.
There's pretty much no music.
I did laugh when Farrell collapses, poisoned, and all the girls look at their plates, as though they're being told off, but otherwise it seemed a pointless exercise.
