In a word - Blech.

Though I feel that I am betraying all that is good & right in the world by saying anything negative about a project with Day-Lewis' name attached, in this case it must be done...
This is actually a negative 1 star movie. A Horribly written, strangely acted, pointless piece of film making. You feel virtually nothing but confusion & discomfort towards these characters which don't undergo a thing, no transformation - no triumph - they simply wander with no real goal outside of dwelling around their property (which somehow is hidden away from the rest of the world...& from normalcy of any sort.)
Rose...immature, annoying, obviously grew up having learned nothing and therefore resorts to behavior similar to a 6 year old...the writer decided to make this the conflict & drama of the story.
Unless you're into being weirded out & bummed at the same time, don't even bother.
