Breaking and Entering



Tedious! A potentially interesting character(s) study of urban isolation becomes a miscasted Crash / Babel hybrid. Bland, preachy and full of artifice, only Robin Wright Penn, Ravi Gavron and Poppy Rogers "feels" real. Maybe I am spoiled by "proper" British kitchen-sink drama and Haneke's clinical studies of middle class egocentrism but this cod British-Hollywood movie (not film) has as much insight as Love Actually, albeit better shot but less entertaining.

4/10

Note to self - let's rewatch Secrets and Lies, Notes on a Scandal, Cache, or Blue again...
