Review of The Long Day Closes (1992) by Paul K — 28 Nov 2011

Well I should have enjoyed this, but it just sent me to sleep. I don't enjoy film without narrative, I've discovered. And Liverpool of the early fifties doesn't resonate enough with my own childhood to be appealing.

It was definitely those bits that were similar to my own memories which I enjoyed best. Overall I could see why it might be considered good, but to me it was overlong and over-theatrical, and really suffered from the absence of a narrative thread.
