I must have missed something here. The stalls seemed to have thought it was wonderful but found it very ordinary. I trust Mr Harwood's words and the main cast are all very capable so I am going to lay the blame with the director and a bit of press nerves. I loathed the squeeling and I found the emotional scenes rather disconnected. The jumping around from set to set didn't work for me either.
