The underlying story is fascinating. A timeless tale of male violence & female denial. Yet the production is dreadful. The director has decided to do it differently, which is fine. But the different approach is just a mess. The people who were actually involved, the actors portraying them, the film crew, the crew filming the film crew - they all just get in each other's way & in the way of the story.
I suspect that the bright spark who decided on this approach did so in large part to promote themselves more than the story, which is a terrible error in film making. Any respect for the director evaporated at the court room scenes. Everyone knows barristers & QC's don't dress like that. No doubt the director trying to be different but it just comes across as inaccurate & shoddy. The story still makes it worth watching but it's a spoiled opportunity.
