As if the boos are any indication of the validity, artistically or otherwise, of a film. La Dolce Vita was booed mercilessly at its first screening, The Tree of Life was savagely booed. Critics at the press screening went wild (in my opinion rightly so) subsequently commenting that the film was only a series of attractive screen savers. Reviews were for the most part scathing, not mixed, scathing. And yet the film was nominated for Academy Awards. Your critic's review made me laugh it was so over the top negative, especially in comparison to the French reviews of the film. The closing paragraph of her review even mentions that the film contains a "a crude, distastefully regressive subtheme which suggests that well, of course that this is what happens to girls and to women (even successful, intelligent, independent women) when they are left alone even for a moment by their menfolk. Boo, indeed". Wow. Seriously?

Sounds a lot like the plot of Exotica, minus the strip club and the fact that the girl is most assuredly dead in that film.

Is that September 5 opening date the same for the US? That poster/trailer are both for its Canadian distributor eOne and not its American distributor A24.
