7/10
Behind and in front the courtain

It is kind of amazing that when I looked at the actors credited here, the first names that came up where people I never heard of. Watching this gives us a whole different picture (no pun intended) - or should that read a different play? Well whatever you want to call it, you have quite a few heavyweights here. And it makes sense, since John Torturro himself did the movie.

I am not aware if this is based on a play (or multiple plays .... of words - yes another pun) or based on a book. I do know that the acting is terrific and the story holds together. Which is not an easy feat - we have quite a lot of players here (ok promise last pun - maybe).

What goes on behind a production? If you have been behind the scenes (either because you worked on or had the opportunity to look at a production), you'll know what the movie means. This is well made to say the least, but it takes its sweet time. Which again makes sense, considering the cast ... but may not be to everyones taste - you be the judge ... or critic (ok I'm done)
