Poor photography ruins a good story

Warning: Spoilers
Okay drama about a woman going to the French Quarter in search of a job and drifting back through time and reliving past events. Well acted drama actually is worth a look see. Or rather might be depending upon your tolerance for the films major conceit, namely all of the sequences in the past are filmed through a filter which puts a gauzy border around the entire image. The border will either blend into things for you or make you completely nuts. I didn't mind it at first but after a while it really made me crazy since it distracted my attention away from the story. I was always aware of the filter and so I never believed that the film was anything other than artificial. Try the film and if it clicks you'll enjoy yourself, if not it will be a long haul.
