Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Sleuth (2007)

I've seen neither the play nor the 1972 film adaptation, so I can't natter on about the changes and which is best -- I can just say that this was fine, though a little too stagey to be much more than clever at arm's length.

There were quite a few times that I felt a bit off balance for a few seconds before "catching up" to what was actually happening, which may sound like a fun idea but didn't actually wind up working all that well. I was rather annoyed by the end.
