Review of The Theory of the Leisure Class (2001) by Alexandra W — 15 Sep 2010
What dooms Theory is the acting and dialogue. The story itself, a rambling rumination on betrayal, shifting alliances, and cold compulsions, would probably have otherwise passed muster. As it was, I found myself unable to enjoy anything coming out of the characters' mouths.
Some of the actors were passably good, but they had been given awkward sequences of lines to deliver. Worse, though, is that the actors seemed genuinely bored, and it's clear the director had a hard time telling when the dramatic focus had shifted to the wrong player.
Skip this chore of a film.
