AS much as i adore pj harvey and attend her concerts and buy her cds..

this film is sooo over rated and amateur i cant help but cringe at how bad the production and filming are.

dont even get me started on the script.

Personally, I don't think Hartley is able to top 'Trust' and 'The Unbelievable Truth'. Adrienne Shelly was incredible in both films.

Over-rated? I thought it was a complete unknown. I only heard about it and watched it because it was mentioned in the book "Alternative Scriptwriting: Beyond the Hollywood Formula". Either this movie looks like crap or I couldn't find a better copy.

I thought it was pretty interesting and I liked the screenplay.
