I found nothing redeeming in watching a movie which flaunts the passive-aggressive and sociopathic behaviors of campy intelligent and pseudo-polite individuals.
Michael Pitt recreates his nearly stereotype polite-psycho role as in The Village et al. The acting by the senior actors Naomi Watts and Tim Roth is top-notch. Unfortunately, they are stuck in a movie with no redeeming qualities.
The entire movie is simply a frustrating, mostly slow-moving and overly-deliberate progression of polite and manipulative psychopathology. What's so fun about watching that in a movie? One can simply see the same mental-disorders in interpersonal daily life encounters, although without the fruition of what happens when such ill and twisted individuals have their full reign.
