Yes - see. Based on his 1999 play. It's not even a new play. This is how not to do a filmed play. But, I think the real problem with this, other than it being too slow, is Annette Bening. Her accent is distracting - she sounds like a German who's lived in England for twenty years. Getting the accent right - or wrong, rather - means she delivers her lines at 0.2 mph. It's fatal.
No problem with Bill Nighy or Josh O'Connor (still in Price Charles mode, somewhat).
A dull way in which to celebrate having spoken to Alisa Lepselter - we should have watched a Woody Allen.
