I found the excessive use of close -ups extremely annoying watching this. It wasn't as though the majority of the close ups established any new information or invoked a feeling of a character's state. It seemed to be used just because it seemed trendy to the director.
Then there is the casting. Most of the cast did a reasonable job for the story and (probably) the direction they received. But why on earth Alice Lowe was cast in this (or anything at all for that matter) is beyond me. She has no range, no diversity, nothing interesting in the way the portrays the role. She just plays exactly the same person in different situations no matter what the film is.
If there was a casting for the role there must have been far more suitable actresses, but I suspect she got the part just because she is part of some nepotistic crowd.
The film did very little for me at all. The story - which isn't a bad story - would probably have been much better had more thought and effort gone in to the production.
