This movie should have been better. It was an interesting story, well-acted, but cluttered with distractions, the most annoying of which was the main character's continuing narration, which never added to or advanced the story. The primary weakness was the writing, manifested by poorly-developed characters whose relationships were never credible and whose behavior was seldom coherent. I wondered finally if the initial edit produced such an uneven and difficult-to-understand movie that the director hastily shot all the narration scenes and cut them in to try to pull the whole mess together. But once into the movie, I couldn't quit it, mainly because of Judith Godreche, who I couldn't see enough of and whose performance was the most interesting of all.
