I've read the book and thought it was nothing special. After reading it I thought it would never be filmed as it's basically 400 pages of a woman handcuffed to a bed. It would make for a boring film, right? And it does.
It starts good, does nothing for an hour, then gets back on track. It is faithful to the book but that is where the problem lies. Well made, good acting but when nothing happens for an hour except flashbacks to other events then it becomes a struggle. Basically, it's an hour too long. Cut the boring hour long rambling and you will have a good film.
As it is, this one will test your patience.
