5 / 10 Stylish and fascinating.
My Movie Rating:
9 / 10 A great job by Tom Sweet and his "survival" from his overbearing parents. The only love and affection he gets is from Mona, the maid, and then she gets fired by the mother because of that.
My Movie Rating: 9 / 10 Atmospheric, good-looking film streaked with psychoanalysis. Overly ambitious but has some fine set pieces. Tom Sweet gives a good performance, doing his best with a rather flatly written character.
