CGiii Comment
So...the first 10 or so minutes is an HIV test...did it really need to go on that long?!?
Hold on a minute...every scene goes on for too long!!! The counselor interview...one ridiculous questions would have sufficed...move on...don't insult your audience by spelling everything out.
That infidelious confrontation scene...do people really do that?!? Not on this or any other planet.
Comic relief/sagacious wit is provided by those perpetually-indulged Sisters...only they know why they exist.
This has all the failings of a film that stars the writer...it's an ill-devised showreel. As for the poetry...long way to go.
The direction: what direction? The star/writer had it all mapped out...big mistake.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
