This Movie Sounds So Bad I Almost Want to See It

The movie Things We Lost in the Fire directed by Suzanne Bier, written by Allan Loels, with Halle Berry, David Duchovny and Benicio Del Toro is available on DVD March 4th.

The Time Magazine reviewers Richard Corliss, Lev Grossman, Josh Tyrangiel, gave it an F, which I don't recall seeing before - but the thing that struck me as funny was the end of the review that says,

"Nobel in intent, dreadful in execution, this soporific soap opera is in no way to be brought, rented, bartered, played or allowed in your house."


On the other hand, Seattle P-I reviewer William Arnold called it, "A deeply satisfying tale of coping with loss."
