Do you ever give up on a film in its first act/half?
There are two movies I tried to watch this week but I couldn't continue watching.
"The Inheritance" by Mauro Bolognini but the only version I saw was a badly dubbed movie and I couldn't take Dominique Sanda seriously with her dubbed voice sounding like Katy Caterpillar.
"The Passion of Darkly Noon". I love Phillip Ridley, he brings such a eerie, dark atmosphere into his directing style and I adored "The Reflecting Skin", but the acting in the first act is so bad. Stilted and wooden, it took me out. Ashley Judd is introduced in jeans and a tank top. I mean, c'mon. It has a 44% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ingrid Bergman once said if she's not liking a movie by the first 30 minutes, she quits on it, because she didn't want to waste her time in a movie she's not liking. If it's good enough for Ingrid Bergman, it's good enough for me.
