an achingly enthralling premise , the film is hindered by uneven dialogue and plot lapses .

1
negative
what could have easily become a cold , calculated exercise in postmodern pastiche winds up a powerful and deeply moving example of melodramatic moviemaking .
4
very positive
russell lacks the visual panache , the comic touch , and perhaps the budget of sommers 's title-bout features .
1
negative
some remarkable achival film about how shanghai -lrb- of all places -rrb- served jews who escaped the holocaust .

3
positive
the narrator and the other characters try to convince us that acting transfigures esther , but she 's never seen speaking on stage ; one feels cheated , and esther seems to remain an unchanged dullard .

2
neutral
at every opportunity to do something clever , the film goes right over the edge and kills every sense of believability ... all you have left is a no-surprise series of explosions and violence while banderas looks like he 's not trying to laugh at how bad it

swimming is above all about a young woman 's face , and by casting an actress whose face projects that woman 's doubts and yearnings , it succeeds .
4
very positive
mattei 's underdeveloped effort here is nothing but a convenient conveyor belt of brooding personalities that parade about as if they were coming back from stock character camp -- a drowsy drama infatuated by its own pretentious self-examination .
1

` the war of the roses , ' trailer-trash style .
