Cliched disappointment

It'd be great if we were to get a few more films wherein lesbians aren't disturbed nor solely involved with churlish men before they Learn Better, but to note this is not to properly criticize this film, which has problems all its own with its trotted out cliches about class and coming of age in trying times. "Mona" Lisa has had a tough, hardscrabble life, and we focus in on her prematurely battered complexion to register this; Tamsyn is from the idle, self-absorbed rich and thus plays games with others, who, being yobbos, react brutally. Aside from a lack of narrative drive that leaves it quite dull at times, this film tells us almost nothing new, and even feels the need to repeat its occasional good joke, hoping to wrench some profundity out the different responses such statements get in differing circumstances. In this, it essentially fails. |
