Through the ages in (on on) one house, shot from a fixed camera. 'Look at how clever we are' instead of 'let's make an engaging film'. It totally screws with a good and Eisnerish plot (it was based on a graphic novel by Richard McGuire, so that fits), robs us of the power of shot size changes and leaves most of the actors in the background so you don't even recognise who half of them are.
Who are Tom Hanks (digitally youthed), Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly (didn't even recognise her), Michelle Dockery, Gwilym Lee, David Fynn (inventor) and Ophelia Lovibond, Nicholas Pinnock, Nikki Amuka-BIrd, Cache Vanderpuye.
