This film is likely to be remembered as the occasion when a celebrated actor came back, though his talent wasn't fully utilized. Ronan Day-Lewis’ first effort shows considerable artistic bravery and a lot of drive, but his focus on symbolism and an air of artificiality prevents viewers from forming any real emotional bond with what they are seeing. Daniel Day-Lewis' skill is turned into something like an artistic offering, where lengthy speeches become parts of a puzzle that isn't explained or finished. It’s a work that employs private suffering as its foundation but doesn’t manage to convey the sense of that pain; it ends up being a beautiful spectacle that traps everyone involved, with trauma appearing as a quietness that, when it is finally released, seems only to be shouting into emptiness. Rating: C-
