Unusually good character study

Despite a few turns into quirkyness, most of the film feels very honest and it's a very interesting perspective from which to examine human relationships. It helps that Weaving is sympathetic but far from pitiable, making it quite rewarding to judge his actions and reactions both from the perspective of his character and in the broader context of human experience.

two big names long before their time, it's a good peak into their early careers, but the movie fails in providing great cinema. i have no problems with the acting, it's the story that lacks. i can see that when thought up this was a good idea, but it was poorly implemented and suffers from disallowing the viewer to care in any way.
