If I had to spend the weekend with these whiny, pretentious characters, I'd jump in the lake and never come up.
An engaging drama about grief based on a novel by Peter Cameron.
A slow, ponderous and pretentious film, it has a treacly score that fills every crevice of the set.
It gets pretty thick, but, thankfully, some of the performances cut through the preciousness.
